The US Supreme Court only seated seven justices in 1824; only six of the seven participated in the unanimous decision in favor of Gibbons. The Court held that the Interstate Commerce Clause allowed Congress to control business interaction between the states, including navigation of the waterways, superseding New York state laws that restricted out-of-state competition in steamboat travel.
