Question

the supreme court decision in gibbons v. ogden, decided that the commerce clause article 1 of the costitution gives cogress the power to regulate interstate trade. how was the decision used to increase national power over the states? select all that apply? is the answer regulating a national minimum wage?

Answer 1

The answer is not regulating a national minimum wage.

The decision in Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) expanded national power over states primarily through the interpretation of the Commerce Clause. It enabled the federal government to regulate interstate trade. Therefore, the correct answer would be:

- It allowed the federal government to regulate interstate commerce.
- It limited the power of individual states to regulate interstate trade.
