Students' answers may vary.
In Gibbons v.Ogden (1824), the Marshall Court ruled that the Interstate Commerce Clause, under which Gibbons held a federal coasting license for his steamboat line, was superior to the steamboat monopoly granted to Ogden by the state of New York.The Supreme Court broadly defined the congressional power to "regulate commerce among the states," thereby establishing the supremacy of the federal government over the states in matters involving interstate commerce.
