Because this question has been posted before, I'll post my previous response here.
The case of Gibbons v. Ogden was a landmark Supreme Court case decided in 1824 concerning the power of the states to regulate interstate commerce. This case involved a steamboat owner, Thomas Gibbons, who did business between New York and New Jersey and the then governor of New Jersey, Aaron Ogden. Gibbons argued that the monopoly Ogden had was a violation of the commerce clause of the Constitution and therefore not valid. This proved to be the case. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court decided that this law conflicted with federal law and the powers the federal government had to regulate interstate commerce. Under the Constitution, Congress has all powers necessary and proper to carry into effect the laws that it passes. This reinforced that clause.
<span>England spent a lot of money trying to protect the American colonies and decided that they would tax the colonies more in order to have the colonies pay for the military costs. The taxes forced upon the American colonies made them angry and eventually led to protests and a full out revolution that the colonies won and formed the United States of America</span>
The Fourteen Points were U.S. President Woodrow Wilson's post World War I blueprint to end territorial disputes in Europe, promote international commerce, and make the world safe for democracy.
