Gibbons Vs Ogden Case Study

300 Words2 Pages

One of the very first trails that would gravely expand the powers of Congress through one single clause, the Commerce Clause, would have to be the Gibbons vs. Ogden case, which took place in circa 1824. The dispute began due to the fact that the state of New York gave Aaron Ogden a state license that allowed him to operate his steamboat ferries between New Jersey and New York. Conflicts emerged, since Thomas Gibbons, who received his license from the federal government, also operated his ferries along the same route. Both men believed that their own license was superior to the other. This dispute then made its way to the Supreme Court. The Court then ruled in Gibbons favor; not only because they believed that a federal license was of more

    A. O’Connor v. Donaldson 1975: In this precedent, the supreme court decided that the presence of mental illness alone is not enough to warrant involuntary confinement. If the patient is no longer found dangerous to him/herself or others, there is no justification to continue confinement. Commitment needs to be justified on the basis of mental disease and dangerousness. This precedent is applicable to the case of Mr. Y, because the statement above states dangerousness and mental illness as a basis for justifying continual commitment for Mr. Y. If the preponderance of evidence shows that Mr. Y is dangerous due to his mental disease, then deciding to civilly commit him would meet the requirement of this precedent case.

  • Necessary And Proper Clauses

    Thomas Jefferson disagrees with the idea that Congress could broadly interpret the clause’s powers, because he believes that when the majority of Congress does, it will enable them to do whatever they want to do. And Jefferson says, “…it (Congress) would be also a power to do whatever evil they please and this can never be permitted.” Congress has had the ability to “make all laws which shall be necessary and proper” through the Necessary and Proper Clause, establishing federal power, regulating future endeavors, this has led to speculation within our government. Even with the controversy of the Necessary and Proper Clause, many would say that this clause has helped with future endeavors, such as railroads and computers. However, we see that time and time again the powers of the state our over-powered by the federal government, as we saw in the McCulloch v. Maryland case.

    In 1945, the High Court of Australia heard the case of Gratwick v Johnson and ultimately decided to dismiss the appeal in a unanimous decision by the Judges. While different reasoning was employed, all five judges drew the conclusion that the appeal should be dismissed as the statute the defendant was charged under was inconsistent with s.92 of the Australian Constitution. To provide some context for this case in 1944, Dulcie Johnson was charged with an offence against the National Security Act 1939-1943 in that she did contravene par.3 of the Restriction of Interstate Passenger Transport Order by travelling from South Australia to Western Australia by rail. In brief terms par.3 of the Restriction of Interstate Passenger Transport Order provided that no person shall, without a valid permit, travel from state to state or territory.

  • Supan V. Griffin's Case Study

    It is not a defense that the dog has never shown vicious behavior or bitten anyone in the past. In the case Supan V. Griffin, Griffin failed to provide evidence that the dog had ever bitten anyone in the past. However, the owner made a comment to his neighbor which “raised genuine issue of material fact as to owner’s knowledge of his dogs’ tendency to attack” and allowed the court to rule against the dog owner. This is similar to Roberts’ case in the fact that Chip has never bitten anyone, but, the owner knew of the dog’s propensity to chase down the football. Again, Robert’s knew of the dog’s inclination to celebrate and chase down the ball, even if it landed in the stands, and knew the possibility of injuring a patron.
