Answer:

The Supreme Court´s decision allowed the federal government to maintain some control over trade within and across state borders.

Explanation:

The case was a landmark decision by the Supreme Court of the United States. It all started when Gibbons, the former business partner of Ogden, operated a steamboat on a route that was granted to Ogden after buying a license. The license he bought was granted by the Legislature State of New York and it stated exclusive navigation.

Gibbons went to court claiming that the Legislature had overexpanded its powers. The power to regulate navigation was granted to Congress by the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution.

Finally, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Gibbons.
