  • U.S. Supreme Court
  • I believe that I am right because New York state law declares that only steamboats with the Fulton-Livingston monopoly license can operate in state waters
  • I believe that I am right because my license was granted by Congress, and gives me access to the country. Congress enacted this back in the late, 1700s, I shouldn't need another license.
  • No!
  • Chief Justice John Marshall
  • The Supreme Court finds in favor of Thomas Gibbons, the Commerce Clause gives him right and supercedes state laws.
  • All right!
  • The United States Supreme Court had changed the way commerce was done throughout the country with their ruling of Gibbons v. Ogden
