What important precedent was established in Gibbons v. Ogden? A. It established the Internal Revenue Service and the federal tax
code. B. It maintained that only Congress could regulate commerce between states. C. It established a bicameral legislature with a Senate and a House of Representatives. D. It created a system of checks and balances between the branches of government.
This is known as the Stare decisis. This is the basis for
the doctrine of the precedent in which the previous court cases and their

the things decided and the courts issue it when there is a known case and a
known ruling for the issue in question.
