The Granger laws were a series of laws passed in western states of the United States after the American Civil War to regulate grain elevator and railroad freight rates and rebates and to address long- and short-haul discrimination and other railroad abuses against farmers . The laws were passed a great deal in part to the Populist group. When several Granger laws were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, the federal Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 was passed to secure the same reforms. The Granger laws were so called because they were passed in response to the Granger movement. The granger laws were started by the Farmers' Alliances that brought about anti-Railroad pools and rebates. It was an intensely debated issue within the United States. Granger Laws were the deciding point of two very important court cases in the late 19th century, Munn v. Illinois and Wabash v. Illinois.
