The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 aimed to regulate railroad rates and practices, addressing concerns over monopolistic control and unfair pricing in the transportation industry. Similarly, the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 sought to combat anti-competitive practices by prohibiting monopolies and restraining trade. Both laws were significant steps taken by the federal government to curtail the excessive power of big businesses and promote fair competition in the marketplace. Together, they laid the groundwork for future regulatory measures to protect consumers and smaller enterprises.

The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 aimed to regulate the railroad industry by establishing the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to oversee fair rates and prevent discriminatory practices. The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 sought to combat anti-competitive business practices by making it illegal to restrain trade or commerce through monopolies and conspiracies. Both acts were significant in promoting fair competition and protecting consumers from unfair business practices in the rapidly industrializing economy of the United States.
