Gibbons v. Ogden (1824)

Read a random definition: Legal Writing Institute

A quick definition of Gibbons v. Ogden (1824):

Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) was a court case that helped establish the power of Congress to regulate commerce. The case was about two men who both wanted to operate steamboats between New York and New Jersey. One of them had a monopoly from the state of New York, but the other had a federal license. The Supreme Court decided that Congress had the power to regulate shipping, even within a state, if it affected interstate commerce. This decision set the foundation for later cases that expanded Congress's power to regulate commerce within a state.

A more thorough explanation:

Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) was a famous Supreme Court case that helped to establish the powers of the commerce clause. This case set the precedent that Congress has broad authority to regulate both interstate and some intrastate commerce.

The case originated from a dispute over shipping monopolies in New York. Ogden and Gibbons were both in the steamboat business between New York and New Jersey. Ogden had a monopoly from the state of New York over steamboat operations in state waters, but Gibbons had a federal license to operate within New York. After a New York court granted an injunction against Gibbons, Gibbons appealed up to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court found that Congress had the ability to regulate shipping under the commerce clause, which made federal regulations superior to state regulations. This decision in Gibbons v. Ogden set the foundation for later cases such as Wickard v. Filburn that greatly expanded the ability of Congress to regulate commerce within a state itself.

Overall, Gibbons v. Ogden was an important case that helped to establish the powers of the commerce clause and the authority of Congress to regulate commerce.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Yeah but like half the general officers are compromised so we might as well just give this country to China already. The head of the JAG corps used to tell us how much he loved Tiktok and he was a 1 star. These people should be court martialed. I hope Trump follows through on that promise the most.
