Interstate Commerce Commission

* created in 1887.

* its purpose was to regulate railroad by ensuring fair rates and ending rates discrimination

Its initial implementation was not successful because this law was not granted adequate enforcement powers. Its early years were filled with court litigation by parties who challenge its purpose and powers.
