Under the commerce clause of the Constitution, Congress has the power to regulate interstate commerce. Because of the vast increase in the movement of goods and services within and between the states since the Constitution was written, this has given the government very broad regulatory authority under Supreme Court decisions. Today that authority is used to regulate cars, the internet, and much else.
