Gibbons v. Ogden
Gibbons v. Ogden, 22 U.S. 1 (1824), was a landmark decision in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the power to regulate interstate commerce, granted to Congress by the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, encompassed the power to regulate navigation.

Oakley argued for Ogden, while William Wirt and Daniel Webster argued for Gibbons.
