Actually, this post or letter illustrates the daily or day-to-day happenings of “Marion’s Men.” Marion wrote this letter to Colonel Peter Horry, his subordinate, after General Gate’s defeat at Camden. “Marion’s Men,” were not there or present at the battle since they were out destroying enemy transportation and lines of communication , a specialty of his troops.

In the space provided, summarize the case of Gibbons v. Ogden and explain its relationship to the Necessary and Proper Clause in

Tamiku [17]

Hi there!

Because this question has been posted before, I'll post my previous response here.

The case of Gibbons v. Ogden was a landmark Supreme Court case decided in 1824 concerning the power of the states to regulate interstate commerce. This case involved a steamboat owner, Thomas Gibbons, who did business between New York and New Jersey and the then governor of New Jersey, Aaron Ogden. Gibbons argued that the monopoly Ogden had was a violation of the commerce clause of the Constitution and therefore not valid. This proved to be the case. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court decided that this law conflicted with federal law and the powers the federal government had to regulate interstate commerce. Under the Constitution, Congress has all powers necessary and proper to carry into effect the laws that it passes. This reinforced that clause.
