There is important context you are missing. Marshall was a deep state puke.
This ruling was actually a coup d'etat, Marshall basically said the words of the Constitution don't matter. But rather, what matters is whether or not a judge feels a law is unconstitutional.
Later in McCullough v Maryland he held that just because the Constitution is silent about the powers doesn't mean the powers don't exist. His ruling is what laid the ground work for wait for it... a government chartered central bank.
If you hate the federal reserve you should despise Marshall.
