Question

claims by gibbons and ogden
identify each statement as describing gibbons or ogden.
(options: gibbons, ogden)
(statements: federal steamboat license; state steamboat license; ed only state - licensed steamboats could operate in state waters; claimed the federal government had power over interstate commerce)

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the Gibbons v. Ogden case:

• Ogden had a state steamboat license and argued only state - licensed steamboats could operate in state waters.
• Gibbons had a federal steamboat license and claimed the federal government had power over interstate commerce (based on the Commerce Clause, allowing federal regulation of interstate commerce, including steamboat operations across state lines).

For the statement “Claimed the federal government had power over interstate commerce”, the correct answer is Gibbons.

Answer:

Gibbons
