Answer:

It gave the power for the federal government to control intra states transaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the commerce clause , the federal government has the power to control any aspect of commerce that crossed state lines .Which means that as soon as a state is conducting transaction with other states, the government automatically became a legal mediator for the transaction.

This include things such as the method of transpiration that can be used by the states, the type of goods that prohibited on intrastate transaction, the things that should be done for conflict resolution, etc.

Overall, This massively increase the federal government have over the states/
