Which of the following cases reinforced the federal government's authority to run the federal and 'Touchin' without interference by state?

  1. McCulloh v. Maryland

  2. US v. Nixon

  3. Marbury v. Madison

  4. Miranda v. Arizona

The correct answer is: McCulloh v. Maryland

The case of McCulloh v. Maryland reinforced the federal government's authority to run the federal bank and taxation system without interference from state governments. This case established the principle of federal supremacy, stating that the federal government's laws and actions take precedence over state laws and actions. US v. Nixon, Marbury v. Madison, and Miranda v. Arizona do not directly relate to federal authority and state interference, making them incorrect choices. US v. Nixon dealt with executive privilege and the Watergate scandal, Marbury v. Madison established judicial review, and Miranda v. Arizona focused on individual rights during criminal proceedings.
