The denial to Congress of the power to charter companies empowered to do a manufacturing business within the States does not carry with it the denial of a power to require of individuals or of state-chartered companies a federal permission to engage in interstate commerce whether as carriers or as shippers of goods across state borders. The right to engage in interstate commerce or to make use of interstate commercial instrumentalities is a federal right, and, it would seem, the plenitude of control which the Constitution grants to Congress with respect to the regulation of this right carries with it the authority to attach such conditions to its enjoyment as may be found fit. The case of Champion v. Ames has illustrated the extent of this federal power to exclude commodities from interstate trade. Thus while Congress may not be able to charter manufacturing companies, which the States may not exclude from their borders, it may refuse to individuals or state-chartered concerns the right to ship their products across state lines except upon certain conditions, which conditions may be so stated as to bring the companies and the individuals, so far as they make use of interstate commerce agencies, within a rigorous federal control.63
