Have you ever played the game Monopoly? Do you know what it takes to win the game correctly? Scholars research the nature of outlawing monopolies in the United States while controlling trade. They investigate the court case Gibbons v. Ogden using a short video clip, discussion questions, and paired research. Open questioning and thought create opinionated responses to the issue of congressional control of interstate commerce.
