Pamphlets on the Fulton Steamboat Company, which litigation over its constitutionality would be tried in the Livingston v. Van Ingen 1817 case and the landmark case Gibbons v. Ogden in 1824 which dealt with the Commerce Clause. Colden, who wrote a biography on Robert Fulton, founder of the Fulton Steamboat Company with Robert Livingston, supported New York State's grant of a monopoly to Fulton for the use of steamboats in New York and later New Jersey waters. John Sullivan and William Alexander Duer, rivals to Fulton's monopoly, litigated for years the constitutionality of the grant and fought a pamphlet war against Colden as well on the validity of the monopoly. The Livingston v. Van Ingen court held that Congress had the right to regulate "external" commerce while States had the right to regulate "internal" commerce. However in 1824 the U.S. Supreme Court under John Marshall, ruled that the sole decided source of Congress's power to promulgate the law at issue was the Commerce Clause. The Court answered that commerce, was more than mere traffic. This ruling effectively established that Congress had the power to regulate interstate commerce also including the power to regulate interstate navigation.
