What were the effects of the Gibbons v. Ogden ruling?

Answer 1

Gibbons v. Ogden prevented states from establishing or enforcing similar monopolistic transportation laws, encouraging growth of steamboat travel and cargo shipping. This expanded trade opportunities between states, boosting states' economies. Landlocked states were better able to participate in regional trade because they gained access to all navigable US waters. The decision in Gibbons created opportunities for the development of more efficient and sophisticated means of transporting people and goods, such as the railroad.

any states in the early 1800s passed laws to protect businesses within their borders. New York gave two men the exclusive right of steamboat navigation on the state's waters. One of the men was Robert Fulton, who invented the steamboat Clermont. Aaron Ogden had a special license from the men to use steamboats on the state's waters. Ogden requested that a local court stop Thomas Gibbons from running his boats, which competed with Ogden's. The court agreed and issued Gibbons an injunction to stop using his boats in New York.

Gibbons appealed the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. He had permission from Congress to use his steamboats between New Jersey and New York waters.
