The correct answer is: It gave the federal government power to regulate the economy. During Monroe's term as president, the Supreme Court made several rulings that expanded the power of the federal government to regulate the economy. Notably, in the landmark case of Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), the court affirmed the federal government's authority to regulate interstate commerce, giving it greater control over economic activities.
