Reversed- judgement in favor of Gibbons
The US Supreme Court made a decision in the case of Gibbons v. Ogden, (1824). See Related Questions, below, for a discussion of that decision.
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.
Both gave the federal government more power by expanding its authority in individual state's economic activities. McCulloch v Maryland gave the federal bank power over states, and Gibbons v Ogden gave Congress power to regulate interstate commerce.
In the case of Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), Chief Justice John Marshall ruled that the federal government had the exclusive power to regulate interstate commerce under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. He determined that New York's licensing requirement for steamboat operators, which effectively granted a monopoly to Ogden, was unconstitutional because it interfered with interstate commerce. Marshall's decision reinforced the supremacy of federal law over state law in matters of commerce, thus broadening the scope of federal regulatory power.
The fact that Ogden did indeed have an "exclusive license" which gave him the exclusive right to operate any vessel in those waters. The case also clearly brought up laws which hampered the free exchange of goods and the conflict between two laws: one passed by New York legislature and the other by United States congress.
