1. inter state commerce clause. look it up.
2. It is allowed under the "commerce clause" as interpreted in the case Ogden vs.Gibbons where Justice John Marshall determined that "commerce" included transportation of goods and not just their sale. At that point, regulation of interstate transportation (i.e. as an extension of the concept of "commerce") fell into Federal hands.
