Answer:

b. Only the federal government has the power to regulate interstate commerce.

Explanation:

In the early 1800s, the New York state granted Robert Fulton and Robert R. Livingston a 20-year monopoly on steamboat navigation in state waters. Later on, Aaron Ogden purchased those rights to operate steamboats between New York City and New Jersey.

The conflict originated when Thomas Gibbons, a steamboat owner, operated his boat on that same route without Fulton and Livingston's authority, which led Ogden to sue Gibson in 1819. In Court, Gibbons appealed alleging that he held a federal license to do business there, which had been issued by Congress.

The case ended up turning in Gibson's favor because the Court determined that federal law prevails over state laws and<u> it is the federal government, and not the states, that has the power to regulate interstate commerce</u>, so the Court reversed the New York's law that allowed citizens to hold a monopoly on steamboat navigation in state waters.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

People were afraid to be the first to stop clapping.

The Soviet government used fear and terror to control its citizens.

Explanation:

Stalin's Soviet Union was the first totalitarian government after World War I. The failure of the proletarian struggle of the Communist Party to achieve any substantial objective forced Stalin to make some radical changes to the Communist Party. He acquired a dictatorial position as the supreme leader of the Soviet Union. He regulated the Great Purge, in which he used threats and violence to retain full control of the country. He had made anyone killed who posed some sort of threat to him and in the process, many have perished and more lost their social life.
