Original Question: What is the significance of the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887?

Answer: Choice (B) or The act established some of the first steps to allow congress to regulate interstate trade

Reason:

  • Choice (A) is incorrect because these laws were set up to regulate industries, not to ban certain monopolies
  • Choice (B) is correct because it was the first attempt by the government to implement rules to prevent railroads from setting up outlandish prices
  • Choice (C) is incorrect because this act didn't have any relation with the Apache Indians
  • Choice (D) is incorrect because this wasn't the first time that the US set up a law that influenced the economy

Hope that helps!
