The Interstate Commerce Act ( 1877 ) is a United States federal law that was designed to <em>regulate railroad industry.</em>

Prior to this act, in many regions of the USA a single company enjoyed the monopoly of railroad transportation, thus dictating their conditions and prices. Many felt this practice was unfair and discriminatory.

The Interstate Commerce act was designed to prevent unjust discrimination by the railroads. It prohibited the pooling of traffic and profits, short haul or long haul fare discrimination and required that railroads to<em> publicize their</em> <em>rates.</em>

By regulating the railroads, the railroads became subject to competition and fairer prices for transporting people/goods were established. To supervise the enforcement of the law, Interstate Commerce Commission was founded.

Which procedure gives citizens of some states more influence over time government
nataly862011 [7]

The correct answer is The recall.

Recall election is the power of the voters to remove an elected official from office through a direct vote before that official's term has ended. The State Constitution requires that the Legislature must provide for the recall of local officers. This provision, however, does not affect counties and cities whose charters provide for recall. Any state officer may be recalled.
