A.
This is called the Commerce Clause, so this is true.

B.
<span>McCulloch v. Maryland ruled that Maryland (a state) may not tax the national government. So B is false.

C.
</span><span>Tax exemption is real and allows places like schools and churches to apply to be exempt from paying taxes. So C is true.
</span>
D.
This is true since state powers overrule local powers so cities may only make laws that don't interfere with state or federal laws.

So the answer is <span>B. States are allowed to tax the federal government, according to the Supreme Court ruling in McCulloch v. Maryland, 1819.</span>
