What was the event of gibbons vs ogden

Good question! 

I'll be answering this question to the best of my extent as I haven't learned about this topic.  

"Gibbons v. Ogden, 22 U.S. (9 Wheat.) 1 (1824)[1] was a landmark decision in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the power to regulate interstate commerce, granted to Congress by the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, encompassed the power to regulate navigation.[2] The case was argued by some of America's most admired and capable attorneys at the time. Exiled Irish patriot Thomas Addis Emmet and Thomas J. Oakley argued for Ogden, while U.S. Attorney General William Wirt and Daniel Webster argued for Gibbons."

I am only here to help, not to get into trouble.  I hope you understand.  

The Gibbons v. Ogden decision served to vastly expand the power of Congress and the federal government. ... Although the Supreme Court briefly limited the scope of the interstate commerce clause at the end of the 19th century, the power of Congress was extended beyond Gibbons v. Ogden in the 1930s.
