Question

what is the significance of the supreme courts decision in the gibbons v. ogden case?
a. it limited congresss ability to regulate interstate and international trade.
b. it shaped how the necessary and proper clause has been interpreted since 1819.
c. it resulted in the creation of a new statute that became known as the commerce clause.
d. it resulted in an expansive interpretation of the commerce clause.

Explanation:

In Gibbons v. Ogden, the Supreme - Court broadly interpreted the Commerce Clause, giving Congress more power over interstate commerce. It did not limit Congress's power (A is wrong), did not shape the interpretation of the Necessary and Proper Clause (B is wrong), and the Commerce Clause already existed before this case (C is wrong).

Answer:

D. It resulted in an expansive interpretation of the Commerce Clause.
