Answer:

Gibbons vs ogdens have the supreme court power through the commercial clause.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ogdens owned a steamboat company that offered commercial services through various ports in New Jersey. The supreme court gave monopoly to ogdens and other business men.

Gibbons also owned a steamboat company but was not given monopoly so he decided to go to court.

At the Court, Gibbons pointed to the fact that he obtained a license from the federal government to conduct his steamboat business between ports in New Jersey. He pointed out that the monopoly by New York law, and granted by the New York court was in conflict with the act of congress.

It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to answer this question so I had to look for it. Anyway, here is the answer. The Supreme Court case that gave the federal government extensive power through the commerce clause is the Gibbons V. Ogden. Hope this answers your question.
