mar 2, 1824 - Gibbons v. Ogden

Description:

Gibbons v. Ogden, decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1824, was a pivotal case that established the federal government's exclusive power to regulate interstate commerce. The ruling overturned a New York state law that had granted a monopoly on waterborne trade between New York and New Jersey, emphasizing that only Congress has the authority under the Commerce Clause to regulate trade between the states, thereby promoting economic unity and free trade among states.
