Cooley v. Board of Wardens of the Port of Philadelphia established the doctrine of selective exclusiveness, which holds that a state may regulate commerce within its borders if it does not unduly burden interstate commerce or conflict with federal law.

It did not directly address implied powers, interstate commerce, or exclusivity.
