Swift & Co. v. United States 196 U.S. 375 (1905) was a case in which the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Commerce Clause allowed the government to regulate monopolies if it has a direct effect on commerce. It marked the success of the Presidency of Theodore Roosevelt in destroying the Beef Trust. This case established a stream of commerce (or current of commerce) argument that allows Congress to regulate things that fall into either category.
