Question

Who was involved in the case of Gibbons v. Ogden?

Answer 1

Gibbons's lawsuit against the monopoly, Gibbons v. Ogden, was finally decided in his favor by the United States Supreme Court on March 2, 1824. Chief Justice John Marshall ruled that the monopoly had no force against interstate shipping; states, he declared, could not interfere with interstate commerce.

Answer 2

Gibbons v. Ogden was a landmark decision enacted by the US Supreme Court in 1824 which stated that, together with the power to regulate interstate commerce, the US Congress had the power to regulate navigation.

The case was discussed by the best attorneys who were active at those times. Thomas Addis Emmet and Thomas J. Oakley argued to defend the position of Ogden and William Wirt and Daniel Webster did the same for Gibbons.
