1 answer:

8 0

Answer:While Brazil maintained its territorial integrity after independence, the former Spanish America split into more than a dozen separate countries, following the administrative divisions of the colonial system. The difficulty for the inhabitants of these units was not, however, as simple as the demarcation of geographic boundaries. Rather, the recently emancipated countries of Latin America faced the much more daunting challenge of defining and consolidating new nations.

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Thomas Gibbons won the case Gibbons v. Ogden in 1824 because he <em><u>held a federal license to do business.</u></em>

Explanation:

The Supreme Court case of Gibbons v. Ogden was a case of a territorial issue where the two parties tried to gain superior authority over the rights involved. This court case set the precedent for how state and federal powers are entertained.

Aaron Ogden and Thomas Gibbons were former partners in the steamboat industry. So, when Gibbons got his own steamboat to operate, the issue of who can ply in the waterways became an issue. Ogden has a state permit while Gibbons's was a federal permit.

When Gibbons operates his steamboat on the waterways of New York, Ogden opposed, claiming that Gibbons has no permit. This case became a fight between the state and federal powers, with the issue of who was to have a higher power. And the court agreed or dictated that the federal government has control or precedence over the state.

So, <u>Gibbons won the case because of his federal licence against Ogden's state licence</u>.
