CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?!?!?!?!?!?! I CAN'T GET ANY HELP IN THE HISTORY SECTION!!!!!!!!!
Which answer correctly describes the authority of state commerce laws following Gibbons v. Ogden? States could pass commerce laws affecting anything except international trade. States could not pass commerce laws in direct conflict with federal law. State commerce laws could override all federal commerce laws. State commerce laws could only override federal commerce laws regarding international trade.
sorry its taking so long im researching the answer to give you an accurate statement
np :) thanks 4 your help
I think its D
Yea go with that answer because of this paragraph: U.S. Supreme Court decision (1824) that established that states could not, by legislative enactment, interfere with the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce. The state of New York had authorized a monopoly on steamboat operation in its waters, an action upheld by a state chancery court, but the Supreme Court ruled that competing steamboat operators were protected by the terms of a federal license to engage in trade along a coast. The decision, an important development in the interpretation of the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution, freed all navigation from monopoly control.
