by operation of laws passed under the commerce clause: United States

Hope _v._ U. S., 227 U. S., 308 (1913).
Cases illustrating exercise of the power over commerce given by
the clause and exercising jurisdiction over commerce claimed to be
intrastate but forming as it were a link in the chain of interstate

as these usually emphasize the power of the State over commerce.
