Gibbons v. Ogden Stephen James & Vashon Wiggins
Supreme Court Case • Gibbons & Ogden • Defendant was Thomas Gibbons • Plaintiff was Aaron Ogden • Brought to the supreme court by appeal
Constitutional Issues • The supreme court case interpreted the tenth amendment • Chief Justice John Marshall interpreted the Constitution to give the Federal Government the duty to determine the rules of commerce, thereby laying the foundation for an American "common market" nearly a century before Europe enjoyed it. (Deposited by the U. S. Supreme Court)
U.S Implications • In this precedent-setting case, which linked states' authority to license steamboats in Federal waters with the seemingly unrelated issue of slavery • The cases that were affected were Marbury v. Madison 1803, McCulloch v. Maryland 1819, Baker v. Carr 1962.
