Why is the presidential election of 2008 considered historic? (5 points)

The Presidential election of 2008 is considered historic because it was the first time that an African American candidate reached the presidency of the United States of America, as Democrat Barack Obama won against the Republican candidate John McCain.

It was also the first time that one of the two main political parties in the country supported the presidential candidacy of an African-American.

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.
