interstate trade

Interstate trade refers to the exchange of goods and services across state borders within the United States. It involves businesses, consumers, and governments buying and selling products between different states, which promotes economic growth and specialization. To regulate this activity and ensure fairness, the federal government enforces laws and policies, such as the Commerce Clause in the Constitution. Interstate trade allows for a diverse marketplace, expands market reach for producers, and benefits consumers through increased choices and competitive prices. It plays a vital role in the overall functioning and stability of the national economy.
