You get some good ones here Well the constitution gives
- 00:23
the federal government the power to regulate interstate commerce which
- 00:26
refers to trade between states or trade that affects the
- 00:29
national economy Like when the state of california exports more
- 00:32
than eighty percent of its almonds overseas Pretty nutty right
- 00:37
All right Did the supreme court assert the federal government's
- 00:40
power to regulate the interstate trade in a marbury versus
- 00:43
madison Well m v m wasn't about regulating trade It
- 00:47
was about regulating whether or not supreme court could compel
- 00:49
an official the hand over political appointments Chief justice john
- 00:53
marshall decided his band of judges couldn't actually do that
- 00:56
and the court struck down part of the judiciary act
- 00:59
of seventeen eighty nine the first time the supremes ruled
- 01:02
a national lot of the unconstitutional did the supreme court
- 01:05
first to certain federal government's ability to regulate interstate trade
- 01:09
In bee little bee marine well l v b was
- 01:12
in fact about trade but it had more to do
- 01:15
with disagreements between how the president and congress imposed restrictions
- 01:19
on trade and well really anything else after the x
- 01:22
y z affair when french diplomats demanded bribes from u
- 01:26
s officials before entering into negotiations between the two countries
- 01:30
john adams wanted to retaliate against france's sleight of ah
- 01:35
hand So congress passed a law allowing the navy to
- 01:38
seize us ship sailing to a french port But adam's
- 01:41
ordered the navy to seize ships sailing from f french
- 01:44
port as well The supreme court found that executive action
- 01:48
to be unconstitutional telling john adams that well he couldn't
- 01:51
really go both ways If the supreme court deal with
- 01:55
interstate trade in see fletcher v peck will fletcher v
- 01:59
peck was more about the validity of contracts than of
- 02:02
interstate trade After georgia lawmakers repeal the yazoo land act
- 02:07
Fletcher and peck whose land was seized after the law
- 02:11
was invalidated took their case all the way to the
- 02:13
supreme court Well the supreme court ruled that the repeal
- 02:16
was unconstitutional since it jeopardized the sanctity of the constitution's
- 02:21
Contract clause what about a mcauliffe v maryland Mccullough femoral
- 02:26
and banked on a controversy over the implied powers of
- 02:28
congress The state of maryland imposed taxes on a u
- 02:31
s national bank which we can imagine congress was none
- 02:34
too pleased with and supreme court ended up ruling that
- 02:37
congress not only had the ability to set up a
- 02:39
bank but also that maryland state law was secondary to
- 02:42
any federal legislation This particular case didn't really trade on
- 02:46
issues of interstate trade which means the supreme court asserted
- 02:50
the federal government's power to regulate interstate trade in d
- 02:54
gibbons be ogden well gibbons and ogden were at loggerheads
- 02:57
over who held the license to operate a steamboat between
- 03:00
new jersey and new york ogden claimed he had first
- 03:03
did since he purchased his license from the state of
- 03:06
new york years earlier Givens though obtained his rite of
- 03:10
passage from the u s congress the big cheeses Well
- 03:14
in a watershed decision the supreme court declared that gibbons
- 03:17
had sailed to victory saying that the u s had
- 03:20
authority over states when it came to regulating interstate commerce
- 03:25
So d is the correct answer and to this day
- 03:27
the power to regulate interstate commerce remains an important trick
- 03:30
of the trade for the u s government's economic agenda
