Explanation:

In Gibbons v. Ogden, 22 U.S. (9 Wheat.) 1 (1824) it was held by the Supreme Court of the United States that the power to regulate interstate commerce, granted to Congress by the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, covered the power to regulate navigation.

Hence, in 1819, when Ogden sued Thomas Gibbons, who was in the business of steamboats in the same waters without the authority of Fulton and Livingston.

While, Ogden won the case in 1820 in the New York Court of Chancery.

Gibbons, however, appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, stating that he was protected by terms of a federal license to engage in coasting trade.

Therefore, in 1824, the supreme court finally ruled that interstate commerce could be regulated only by the federal government and so Ogden's exclusive right granted by New York was illegal, since the route crossed state lines.
