Answer:

Explanation:

Gibbons v. Ogden was a Supreme Court case which held that the Congress of the United States of America had authority, jurisdiction and power to regulate any interstate commerce with respect to the Commerce Clause of the Constitution.

In New York city, the state legislature granted a monopoly to Robert R. Livingston and Robert Fulton an exclusive navigation rights or privileges of operating on all New York state waters with boats that are being moved either by steam or fire, for a time frame of thirty (30) years. Aaron Orgedon was the governor.

In Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), the Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Marshall, ruled that in business disputes, federal law always supercedes state law. It held that the permission granted to the state, New York city was monopolistic and as such was not permitted.
