How did the Supreme Court case, Gibbons v. Ogden, affect interstate commerce?

In Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), the Supreme Court ruled that Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce includes navigation between states. When a New York law conflicted with a federal license for a steamboat operating between New York and New Jersey, federal law prevailed. The case established federal authority over interstate commerce, so the best answer is that only the federal government could regulate it.
