History

Answer:

The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 is a United States federal law that was designed to regulate the railroad industry, particularly its monopolistic practices. The Act required that railroad rates be "reasonable and just," but did not empower the government to fix specific rates. It also required that railroads publicize shipping rates and prohibited short haul or long haul fare discrimination, a form of price discrimination against smaller markets, particularly farmers in Western or Southern Territory compared to the Official Eastern states. The Act created a federal regulatory agency, the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), which it charged with monitoring railroads to ensure that they complied with the new regulations.

With the passage of the Act, the railroad industry became the first industry subject to federal regulation by a regulatory body. It was later amended to regulate other modes of transportation and commerce.

damaskus [11]

<u>Answer: </u>

The step of the listening process that involves assigning meaning to​ sounds, according to your own​ values, beliefs,​ ideas, expectations,​ roles, needs, and personal​ history is referred to as decoding.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • When we listen to something, our brain automatically processes the syllables and sounds to derive meaning out of them.
  • This action carried out by the brain is called 'decoding' which is a part of the process of listening.
  • The operation of decoding is supported by the knowledge that we already have about the syllables that fall on our ears.
