The case of Gibbons vs. Ogden started because Ogden was given exclusive rights by New York to use it's shared waters for a steamship business. When Gibbons- a steamship driver from New Jersey- was seen by Ogden, he took Gibbons to court because Ogden had exclusive rights from New York to use their waters. Gibbons then argued that it was not New York or New Jersey's rights to grant that access to anyone, it was the federal government's choice. media type="custom" key="27113020" align="center"
