Interstate Commerce Clause

The Interstate Commerce Clause is a part of the U.S. Constitution that gives Congress the authority to regulate trade and economic activity between states. This means Congress can set rules and oversee transportation, sales, and services that cross state lines to ensure fair competition and prevent interference that could hinder national commerce. It helps maintain a unified economy by preventing individual states from creating conflicting laws that could disrupt trade across the entire country.
