As a Federalist, Marshall exerted great influence over the other members of the Court to support federal supremacy over state sovereignty. The Supreme Court's decision in Gibbons used the Interstate Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3), Article I, Section 9, and the Supremacy Clause to prevent states from subordinating the federal government to state laws.
The Marshall Court consistently adhered to the nationalist definition of federal power, asserting constitutional and federal law had supremacy over state law. While many saw this as undermining state sovereignty, which is true, the Court's decisions tended to benefit the nation as a whole, whereas state statutes were designed to benefit and create income only for the individual state. For example, the ruling in Gibbons v. Ogden ended local and state regulations impeding interstate commerce, which had resulted in a form of protectionism for each state, and inhibited the growth of a national economy.
This case rested on interpretation of enumerated powers and their application.
