Marshall for the Court, Johnson concurring. It was thirty‐five years after ratification of the Constitution before the Supreme Court decided a case related to the clause empowering Congress to regulate interstate and foreign commerce (Article I, sec. 8). In Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), Chief Justice John Marshall delivered an opinion that was a classic statement of nationalism. Over the years, it became a source of extensive authority for Congress to address new problems in the regulation of the national economy. Judges and lawyers would analyze it to explain the distribution of powers between nation and states in the American federal system
Thomas Gibbons and Aaron Ogden both had licenses to run boats between New York and New Jersey. Ogden had a State license and Gibbons had a federal license. Ogden then went and tried to have Gibbons operation shut down. the case then went to the supreme court. The court ruled that the federal government has sole power to regulate forms of commerce between states. The ruling affected economic activities because now it gave the power to regulate commerce to the states meaning no more racial discrimination in the workplace and also it allowed congress to prevent companies from fixing prices.
