Gibbons v. Ogden, 22 US 1 (1824)Ogden was a New York state resident, and had the upper hand over Gibbons because Ogden held a Fulton-Livingston license, issued under New York state law, permitting him to operate his steamboat enterprise between New York and New Jersey.Gibbons, a New Jersey-based competitor, lacked a New York permit, but was licensed by the federal government under the Federal Licensing Act of 1793.The New York courts had jurisdiction to hear cases regarding their state laws, and would naturally find in favor of Ogden because he was adhering to New York law, whereas, as far as they were concerned, Gibbons was operating outside the law.Ogden requested The Court of Chancery of New York issue an injunction prohibiting Gibbons from entering Hudson Bay and landing in New York City. Ogden easily won his case.Because Gibbons was licensed under federal law, the federal courts would have jurisdiction over any case he filed. Gibbons hoped the Supreme Court would uphold the federal law, which they did, finding Congress had exclusive right to regulate business that crossed state lines under the Constitution's Interstate Commerce Clause.
The US Supreme Court ruled that Congress had the sole power to issue the steamboat licenses under the Interstate Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8) because the dispute involved business (travel and shipping) between two states.Gibbons, the guy from New Jersey who bought the federal license, won. The New York state law was overturned.Case Citation:Gibbons v. Ogden, 22 US 1 (1824)To read more about this case, see Related Questions, below.
Gibbons v. Ogden addresses a New York state law that granted a monopoly contract to Robert Fulton and Robert Livingston, allowing them to license steamboats and other watercraft engaged in business activities within the state. Fulton and Livingston required steamboat owners to purchase a license permitting them to operate in waterways within state boundaries. Ogden had purchased such a license, but his New Jerseyrival, Gibbons, had acquired a permit from the federal government and didn't hold a Fulton-Livingston license. It's not clear whether Gibbons refused to purchase the additional license, or whether he was prevented from buying one because he owned a foreign (out-of-state) business. New Jersey, for its part, had recently passed legislation allowing it to seize vessels not licensed to operate within New Jersey territory.Ogden sued Gibbons in The Court of Chancery, in an attempt to prevent him from entering Hudson Bay and docking in New York City, and won a temporary victory. The case was ultimately heard in the US Supreme Court, which held federal Interstate Commerce Clause superseded state laws. The decision nullified not only the New York state law, but those of many other states that imposed a similar burden on commerce.Case Citation:Gibbons v. Ogden, 22 US 1 (1824)
