Answer 1

In Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), the U.S. Supreme Court established important interpretations regarding commerce. The two correct answers based on the Court's ruling would be:

1. States may be subject to federal regulation in matters of commerce.
2. States may control commerce within their borders that involves foreign countries.

These interpretations underscore the supremacy of federal regulation in interstate commerce while allowing states some authority over commerce that occurs within their own borders, especially regarding foreign entities.
