Best Answer

The Federal Trade Commission was created during the "Progressive Era", which was about 1890ish until about 1920ish. During the Progressive Era, new laws and Supreme Court rulings were passed that aimed at breaking the undue power of large corporations, which were doing a lot of shady stuff at the time. The FTC was a part of this; its initial purpose was to protect the people against false advertising, and to ensure that business competition was not being done unfairly.
