Question 3 • *FL-2100310-United States History Semester 1

The Supreme Court case Gibbons v. Ogden was related to

Answer
A
local rights.
B
business rights.
C
employment rights.
D
voting rights.

Explanation

Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) concerned competing steamboat businesses and whether New York could grant one company an exclusive license to operate. The Supreme Court ruled that Congress controls interstate commerce, including navigation between states. This makes “business rights” the closest choice; the case was not about voting or employment rights.
