Answer:

Thomas Gibbons and the former New Jersey governor Aaron Ogden. The case was decided by the Supreme Court of the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

It was a landmark decision in which the Supreme Court held that the power to regulate commerce encompassed the power to regulate navigation.

Gibbons and Ogden were both associates and bought Livingston and Fulton a license to navigate throughout all the waters within the jurisdiction of the state of New York.

The partnership lasted only three years until its collapse. Then Gibbons operated a steamboat on Ogden´s route between Elizabethtown and New York City. That route was licensed to Gibbons by the U.S. Congress. Ogden flew a complaint to the Court of Chancery of New York which pronounced in favor of him. But Gibbons appealed to the Supreme Court where they change the decision and ruled in favor of Thomas Gibbons.

I hope this answer helps you.
