The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, signed by President Grover Cleveland, aimed to regulate the railroad industry and ensure fair rates for farmers and consumers. It established the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), the first federal agency to monitor and regulate economic activity, specifically targeting unfair practices such as discriminatory pricing and monopolistic behaviors. The act marked a significant step towards federal intervention in the economy and set the stage for future regulation of transportation industries.
