What was Prince Shotoku’s ultimate goal?

Explanation:

El Príncipe Shōtoku (聖徳太子 Shōtoku Taishi?, 7 de febrero 574 - 8 de abril 6221), también conocido como Príncipe Umayado (厩戸皇子 Umayado no ōjî?) o Príncipe Kamitsumiya (上宮皇子 Kamitsumiya no ōji?) fue un semi-legendario regente y político de la Corte Imperial de Japón durante el periodo Asuka. Era el hijo del Emperador Yōmei y su consorte, la Princesa Anahobe no Hashihito, quien también era la media hermana menor de Yōmei. Sus padres eran parientes del clan Soga2, y también estuvo involucrado en la derrota del rival clan Mononobe.3 La fuente primaria de la biografía y los logros del Príncipe Shōtoku proviene del Nihon Shoki .

Durante las generaciones sucesivas, surgió un culto devocional alrededor de la figura del Príncipe Shōtoku para la protección de Japón, la Familia Imperial y para el Budismo. Figuras religiosas clave como Saichō, Shinran y otras reclamaron inspiración o visiones atribuidas al Príncipe Shōtoku

b) a state law could be declared illegal if it contradicted the constitution.

explanation:

the conflict of this case originated when james w. mcculloch, a cashier of the baltimore branch of the second bank of the united states that the congress had chartered in 1816, refused to pay a tax imposed by the maryland state.

in the case, the state of maryland appealed that the establishment of a second bank was unconstitutional since the constitution didn't say anything about granting that power to congress. however, the case determined that even if such right wasn't specifically stated in the constitution, it was part of the "implied powers" of the government enunciated in article i, section 8.

the case also eliminated maryland's legislation to impose taxes to a national bank, asserting that even though the states retained the power of taxation, the constitution's laws are supreme and can not be controlled by the states, therefore, if a state law contradicts the constitution, it should be declared illegal.
