B. McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), United States v. Lopez (1995)

Explanation:

McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) and US v. Lopez best illustrates how views of federalism have shifted in the United States.

In McCulloch v. Maryland case in 1819 Supreme Court directed that federal law had sovereignty over state laws. In 1995 it repeated again in the case of US v. Lopez who successfully preserved federalism by delegating some powers to state and some to federal government. It basically supported the principle that state should be looking after local issues like gun proprietorship on school grounds. The case stated that federal government transgressed the boundaries and congress on the other hand gave itself excessive power over the commerce clause. This case eventually reaffirmed the balance of supremacy and authority between both federal and state government.
