Detailed explanation-1: -Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) was a Supreme Court case that famously expounded upon the powers of the commerce clause, setting the precedent of Congress’s broad ability to regulate interstate and some intrastate commerce. The case originated in a dispute over shipping monopolies in New York.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ogden filed a complaint in New York court to stop Gibbons from operating his boats, claiming that the monopoly granted by New York was legal even though he operated on shared, interstate waters. Gibbons disagreed arguing that the U.S. Constitution gave Congress the sole power over interstate commerce.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Gibbons v. Ogden, the Supreme Court ruled that: states could not restrict trade within their jurisdictions. Under the constitution, congress has the power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into executions the foregoing powers.
