We are referring to the Supreme Case of Gibbons v. Ogden of 1824, which was decided on March 2, 1824. Both were competitors that offered maritime transportation services in New York. The decision of the court was that the Commerce Clause passed by the US Congress also had the power to regulate navigation issues in the states. The Court supported its arguments stating that the broad definition of Commerce also included navigation transactions.
