Gibbons v. Ogden

In 1808, New York granted Livingston and Fulton exclusive rights to operate steamboats, creating a monopoly. Gibbons and Ogden initially partnered to operate steamboats but later split. Gibbons continued operations using a federal license, leading to a legal battle with Ogden. The case reached the Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of Gibbons, citing the Commerce Clause and Supremacy Clause, thus expanding federal power over states.
