What Amendment was challenged in Gibbons v Ogden?

Answer 1

None. The controlling principles in Gibbons v. Ogden were already established. The Interstate Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3) authorized Congress to control commerce between the states (including navigable waters); the Supremacy Clause (Article VI) declared the Constitution was the supreme law of the land, and superseded state laws.

Answer 2

The State of New York argued it had the right to regulate its own waterways as a provision of the Tenth Amendment, asserting it possessed the sovereign authority to control its territory before the Constitution was ratified, and had not expressly ceded this right to the Federal government. According to the Tenth Amendment, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."

Chief Justice John Marshall countered that the Interstate Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3) authorized Congress to control commerce between the states (including navigable waters); and the Supremacy Clause (Article VI) declared the Constitution was the supreme law of the land, superseding state laws where the two interests are in conflict.
