In Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), the Supreme Court ruled that the power to regulate commerce among the several states was exclusively granted to Congress and that state laws that conflicted with or impeded this power were unconstitutional. The court's interpretation of the Commerce Clause in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution affirmed that Congress had the authority to regulate interstate commerce. However, the court also recognized that states still had the power to regulate commerce within their own borders, as long as it did not interfere with or contradict federal regulations.
