Government Instrumentality
GOVERNMENT INSTRUMENTALITY
Government instrumentalities are agencies, including government-owned corporations, created by Congress or the state legislatures to carry out public functions or purposes. Since mcculloch v. maryland (1819) the doctrine of intergovernmental immunity has precluded the state and federal governments from directly taxing one another's governmental instrumentalities.
