Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes..”. The Feds use that authority, inter alia, to regulate all forms of “commerce” including all forms of interstate and international transportation. The so called “Dormant Commerce Clause” refers to the prohibition, implicit in the Commerce Clause, against individual states passing legislation that discriminates against or excessively burdens interstate commerce.
