Answer 2

The correct answer is the second one: States could regulate railroads, which resulted in fair treatment for farmers. Munn v. Illinois Case was developed as a response to the farmers’ demands about the excessive tariffs charged by private companies (such as Munn and Scott) for the transportation of agricultural products. The Supreme Court decided that states could regulate private property (including railroads) when it represents an attack on the public interest.
