Which answer correctly describes an outcome of the gibbons v. ogden court case? (5 points)

the case limited the federal government's power to only include interstate trade.
the case limited the federal government's power to only include trade within a single state.
the case expanded federal power to include some control over trade within and across state borders.
the case expanded federal power to include control over trade between the united states and other countries.

The correct answer is:

The case expanded federal power to include some control over trade within and across state borders.

In Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), the Supreme Court sustained that the authority to control interstate commerce, conferred to Congress by the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, included the power to regulate navigation. Regarding conflicts around licenses granted, the New York state court rejected Gibbons’ case, affirming that U.S. Congress controlled interstate commerce.

for starters, there is the structural trend of rising primary government expenditure as a share of gdp, which reached 36% in 2014, up from 22% in 1991. this increase reflected a political desire to address the poverty and inequality that had gone unaddressed during previous decades. to support the increase, brazil’s government increased taxes on consumption and promoted progress toward labor-market formalization. nonetheless, public investment, particularly in infrastructure, took a hit. in fact, with the exception of the 2005-2008 period, total investment as a share of gdp has remained below 20% since 1991.

since most of current immigration into the u.s., both legal and illegal, is coming from latin america. it would be very difficult to imagine or rationalize a country my fellow citizens are trying desperately to flee into, would pose a threat to my prosperity or freedom. since the u.s. has a long history of intervention, but no record of permanent occupation, i would not feel oppression is the main objective.  

the largest free trade nation, along with the largest gdp in the world wanting to expand it's economic policy on us, and including us, could only be positive. the u.s. government has no interest in, or way of simply forcing american culture on us. and has no track record of it. other nations that adopted american social culture, or "americanization" did so voluntarily, mainly through the choice of allowing american businesses and u.s. citizens to come into their nations, as free operatives.
