Explanation:

The case was a landmark decision by the Supreme Court of the United States. It all started when Gibbons, the former business partner of Ogden, operated a steamboat on a route that was granted to Ogden after buying a license. The license he bought was granted by the Legislature State of New York and it stated exclusive navigation.

Finally, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Gibbons.
