Yes, I am sure. Gibbons v. Ogden, decided in 1824, revolved around the regulation of interstate commerce. The Supreme Court ruled that the federal government had the exclusive power to regulate interstate commerce, which included navigation and trade between states. This case was significant in defining the scope of federal authority over interstate commerce and establishing the principle that federal laws take precedence over state laws in matters that affect interstate commerce.
