How does Ashley Gilligan believe that the United States has changed since September 11?

Since 9/11 the US has been active in wars but is only technically called “in conflict”. 9/11 was only the second act of war on american soil within the century following pearl harbor in 1941. This was also one of the first acts of terrorism using our own property, the planes. The adults that saw this in person or on the news no longer felt safe as we hadn’t had any breaches of security on our own soil and this was an act to instill fear and to start a war. Security at airports have been extremely raised since then and more background checks on visitors from other countrues

in mcculloch v. maryland (1819) the supreme court ruled that congress had implied powers under the necessary and proper clause of article i, section 8 of the constitution to create the second bank of the united states and that the state of maryland lacked the power to tax the bank.

gibbons v. ogden, (1824), was a landmark decision in which the supreme court of the united states held that the power to regulate interstate commerce, granted to congress by the commerce clause of the united states constitution, encompassed the power to regulate navigation.
