This case deals with the supremacy issue once again. It is a test to reaffirm the precedent set in 1819 with McCulloch. The issue is whether a license to conduct interstate commerce issued by the Federal Government is superior to that of a State government. Of course, the Federal license will be deemed superior to the State license affirming the 1819 decision.
