Gibbons v Ogden and the Commerce Clause

It upheld state sovereignty, establishing that the federal government cannot interfere with a state's right to regulate commerce and develop interstate trade laws.
It affirmed the Commerce Clause, establishing that the federal government holds the exclusive power to regulate interstate commerce and invalidating conflicting state laws.
It determined that state commerce laws must align with federal regulations and that interstate commerce agreements require the mutual consent of the involved states.
It established that disputes between states and the federal government regarding interstate commerce must be resolved by a national Commerce Commission.
It concluded that state governments possess the authority to regulate interstate commerce that crosses their shared borders.
