The provision of the U.S. Constitution that gives Congress exclusive power over trade activities between the states and with foreign countries and Indian tribes.

Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3, of the Constitution empowers Congress "to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among several States, and with the Indian Tribes." The term commerce as used in the Constitution means business or commercial exchanges in any and all of its forms between citizens of different states, including purely social communications between citizens of different states by telegraph, telephone, or radio, and the mere passage of persons from one state to another for either business or pleasure.

Intrastate, or domestic, commerce is trade that occurs solely within the geographic borders of one state. Since it does not move across state lines, intrastate commerce is subject to the exclusive control of the state.

Interstate commerce, or commerce among the several states, is the free exchange of commodities between citizens of different states across state lines. Commerce with foreign nations occurs between citizens of the United States and citizens or subjects of foreign governments and, either immediately or at some stage of its progress, is extraterritorial. Commerce with Indian tribes refers to traffic or commercial exchanges involving both the United States and American Indians.

The Commerce Clause was designed to eliminate an intense rivalry between those states that had tremendous commercial advantage as a result of their proximity to a major harbor, and those states that were not near a harbor. That disparity was the source of constant economic battles between the states. The exercise by Congress of its regulatory power has increased steadily with the growth and expansion of industry and means of transportation.

No, of course not. Because it does.

This is just another ruse put out by the GOP to try to thwart the will of the American people.

My state is not only nullifying Obamacare, but we’re opening up interstate commerce. Instead of having the choice between 137 insurance companies, i’ll have over 5000 insurance companies competing for me. And i still wont be FORCED to buy something i may or may not want.

Im from TN. We have no state income tax.

Is yours?
Kiran,

Not a single "universal coverage" states does.

Good for you.

I have a bachelor of commerce degree, and have recently changed my career goals. What are possible career paths that I could take now? I am having a lot of trouble finding a job that is not in fast food.

Pimping is rather lucrative.

I have a friend of mine who is from the commerce field and needs to start a business of his own which will be related to the accounts/finance industry. What suitable business do you suggest?

Well, the best person for that will be your friend himself, he can judge himself better. But if I consider any business for the accounts or finance, it would be a credit repair business. If you are really interested in knowing about this, have a look at http://www.credit4profits.com/

I’m trying to trademark a organization name and one of the questions on the form is whether the title will be used in commerce, or if there is a real intent to use this title in commerce. I’m having trouble understanding exactly what they mean by this. This organization is 100% non-profit, and I have no intent of making any money for myself with it.

Commerce means that you are going to be selling a product or service
As a non-profit, the answer is NO

I noticed that they offer both of those degrees. The Master of Commerce degrees are awarded by the Faculty of Business and Economics of the respective school for the most part. The MBA is always awarded by the Business School of that school. Both degrees are unbelievably expensive.

What is the main difference between these two degrees and how are they regarded? How would employers in the US distinguish between the Master of Commerce from Australia and the MBA from there?
It’s not an MS degree. They call them "Master of Commerce" and those degrees are in general business, not a particular field such as accounting or finance.

The difference is the ranking, content and entitlement.
This is the ranking system of university courses:

Undergraduate Degree (First Timers)
Graduate Degree
Masters
MBA (Master of Business)
PhD (Doctorate)

However, it depends on what your MBA is on. My father recently went back to university and did an MBA in International Property Law, and he is on his way to starting a doctorate.

Internationally, an MBA is much more recognized when applying for jobs overseas. A Master of Commerce is simply a degree, another course that is on your Curriculam Vitae but not giving as much recognition as an MBA.

Completing a MBA would be of more benefit, it gives good knowledge and prepares you for all of the industry in which you have focused.

In my opinion, they are both expensive courses and doing an MBA would be of more benefit.

(But then again, you could always finish the MBA, go and work overseas for nine years, and your HEX fees would be gone, you wouldn’t have to pay them because you technically aren’t employed within Australia therefore not paying tax. The levy that not many people know is that you should do your course, get your visa if need be, and go and work overseas for nine years in your chosen field, that way, if you decide to return, guess what? no more hex fees in the end only paying like $5000 of a $40,000 course.)

My specialty is setting up wireless networks, instead of wired networks. I want to entice people to upgrade to wireless computer network. so far, I created a website through godaddy. I want to know if someone can give me some good advise on how I should market my service. Maybe offer me some great links about e-commerce relating to computer technology. Points to best answer.

I would start off setting up an ebay account and ebay store and sell your goods through them. Otherwise you’ll need a merchant account, a place to store goods, business and sales licenses (depends on your state).

After ebay (or you can go straight to this) for max exposure, you’ll want to create your own website. Go to my website at www.2createmoneyonline.ws for a great hosting and domain company to start your website.

Hope this helps

I have to read a primary source document for US history class. The whole thing talks about some debate about if it’s constitutional for states to regulate commerce with other states and countries while Congress is. I’ve read the whole thing three times and cannot find a straight answer. Help?
That helped a lot. Thanks!

There are three types of government power in the federal system: national powers, state powers, and co-ordinate powers (those shared by the states and the federal government). Congress (the legislative branch of the national government) has the power to regulate interstate commerce. Congress also has the power to regulate foreign trade. States can regulate trade within their own state. One thing the states cannot do is charge tariffs on goods from other states. If the states want to regulate interstate trade, they can make what is known as an interstate compacts but the national government has to approve it. If some states and some provinces want to make some sort of agreement, they can do that but both the U. S. Government and the Government of Canada would have to approve.

Penny Pritzker, the Mother of subprime lenders, former owner of the seized Superior Bank is on Barack Obama’s short list for Secretary of Commerce.

I am sure all those customers she screwed are thrilled. She was a failed subprime lender who set the tone all the way back to 2001.

This is yet another disgusting pick by Obama. He chooses a Commerce secretary who is involved in one of teh loargest economic failures of all time…Obama is not just a poor choice to me now but a downright FOOLISH one.
