Transcript

00:00

Thank you We sneak man here's your smoke too Sure

00:05

brought to you by interstate trade the federal market for

00:08

your rights of way All right In which of the

00:11

following cases did the supreme court assert the federal government's

00:14

power to regulate interstate trade and hear the potential answers

00:19

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
