AWS Community Day CPH - Three problems of Terraform
Gibbons v ogden
1.
2. In 1824, New York allowed Robert Fulton and
Robert Livingston to have authority over the
regulation of waterways between New York
and New Jersey.
The state of New York permitted Thomas
Gibson to operate steamboat between these
two states.
Aaron Ogden believed that the decision was
under the jurisdiction of the Federal
government to grant Gibson permission to
operate between different states.
3. The Commerce Clause was violated.
Federal government has power to regulate
any and all interstate activity under
Commerce Clause and this is enforced
through the Supremacy Clause.
4. Did the state of New York exercise an
authority that is reserved to the federal
government through the Commerce Clause?
5. Date of trial was on February 4, 1824.
Unanimous decision made on March 2,
1824.
6. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Ogden.
The Commerce Clause was violated and the
federal government reserves the power to
regulate interstate activity.
As a result of Supremacy Clause, Congress is
given power over the several participating
states.
7. Chief Justice Marshall gave an opinionated
meaning to the Commerce Clause, concluding
that navigation on interstate waterways could
fall under the category of commerce.
Any nature of interstate commerce fell under
federal government jurisdiction.
This case is an example of federalism where
the federal government is given a power over
the states.
