The Commerce Clause has evolved from a narrow interpretation to a broader one, allowing greater federal regulation. Key cases include Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), which expanded federal power over interstate commerce, Wickard v. Filburn (1942), which allowed regulation of local activities affecting interstate commerce, and United States v. Lopez (1995), which set limits on federal power.
