Today, the scope of the commerce power is left largely to Congress, “often pitting the power of Congress to advance its national agenda against judicial constraints that favor business or state interests (text, p. 324).” The Constitution states that, among other enumerated duties, Congress had the power to “regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes (text, p. 325).” Prior to the Commerce Clause, the Continental Congress held no power to raise revenue or to regulate commerce among the states.

This meeting failed because only five states sent delegates. A few months later another meeting was held in Philadelphia.…
