Thomas gibbons won the case gibbons v. ogden in 1824 because he a: was doing business in more than one state. b: held state licenses from more than one state. c: was trying to reduce air pollution. d: held a federal license to do business.

D: Held a federal license to do business.    

At the beginning of the 1800s, the New York state granted Robert Fulton and Robert R. Livingston a 20-year monopoly on steamboat navigation in state waters. Later on, Aaron Ogden purchased them the rights to operate steamboats between New York City and New Jersey.

The problem began when Thomas Gibbons operated a steamboat on that same route without Fulton and Livingston's authority, which led Ogden to sue Gibson in 1819.  

In Court, Gibbons appealed alleging that he held a federal license to do business there, issued by an act of Congress, and won the case in 1824.

The case established that states cannot interfere with the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce. Such power is secured in the commerce clause of the Constitution, which states that the federal government is the one who regulates commerce.
