The US Supreme Court found in favor of Gibbons, because the Constitution assigns authority to regulate business between the states to Congress under Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 (Interstate Commerce Clause) and specifically prohibits states from charging other states for using their waterways under Article I, Section 9.
The Court's ruling nullified a New York state law and voided the Fulton-Livingston contract that required steamboat owners to buy a license allowing them to operate in New York state waters.
Case Citation:
Gibbons v. Ogden, 22 US 1 (1824)
Gibbons v. Ogden
Thomas Gibbons was a steamboat operator who played a central role in the landmark Supreme Court case Gibbons v. Ogden (1824). He challenged the monopoly granted by New York State to Aaron Ogden for steamboat operations on the Hudson River, arguing that it violated federal law. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Gibbons, asserting that the federal government had the exclusive right to regulate interstate commerce, thereby strengthening federal authority over state laws in economic matters. This case was pivotal in defining the scope of Congress's commerce power.

Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) involved two key figures: Thomas Gibbons, a steamboat operator who held a federal license, and Aaron Ogden, who held a state-granted monopoly to operate steamboats in New York waters. The case arose from a dispute over navigation rights and the extent of state versus federal regulatory power. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of Gibbons, establishing that federal law takes precedence over state law in matters of interstate commerce.
