The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 increased federal regulation of the railroad industry by prohibiting discriminatory practices and requiring that rates be "reasonable and just." It established the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to oversee and enforce these regulations, marking the first time the federal government intervened in the economy to regulate private industry. This act aimed to ensure fair competition and protect consumers from exploitative practices by railroads.
