The Gibbons v. Ogden case is a 1824 precedent of the United States Supreme Court, that gave Congress the control of interstate commerce.
Under a state law, New York State had granted Livingston and Fulton exclusive rights to use and navigate all waterways in the state. Gibbons arbitrarily initiated a passenger transport business between New York State and New Jersey, and Ogden sued Gibbons in violation of his exclusive business right.
Gibbons operated a steamer that ran between New York State and New Jersey State. Because of this, the restrictive regulations imposed by the State of New York were harmful to him. He argued then that it was a power of the Congress to control trade when several states were involved, so the decision of the State of New York went against this precept. The Supreme Court established that, indeed, it was the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce and that the law of the State of New York was in violation of federal antitrust laws that prohibited monopoly.
Massive Debt, i belive this is it
Some characteristics of a communist society would be, the middle class disappearing, the government falls away, and where all members depend equally on whatever the society produces,where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Unless all citizens worked together,a classless society could not exist. Workers would share all means of production, in success or failure, and all banks and services would be nationalized. I hope this was helpful! Have a good day!
<span> In the past,
people thought of the land between the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains
as the "middle" of the West. That is why this region is called the
Middle West. The major landform is the Interior Plains which are made up
of two parts. To the east are the Central Plains. To the west are the
Great Plains. The Central Plains are not much higher than sea level in
some places. On the western edge of the Great Plains the land is higher
than 3,000 feet above sea level. Four of the Great Lakes are in the
Middle West. They are Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, and Erie.
Together with Lake Ontario, all five form the largest body of fresh
water in the world. </span>
