The Interstate Commerce Act made prices to ship goods via railroads fair for all who had products to ship, so that small farmers no longer had to pay more than bigger companies.

Railroads had been giving favorable treatment and prices to major companies for shipping freight on rail lines.  The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 aimed to end such practices.  The act contained provisions such as:

<span>... All railroads were required to set fair and reasonable shipping rates.
... Charging different rates for a similar service was declared illegal.
... Railroads could not charge more for short-haul services than a proportional rate of long-haul services on the same route.
... Railroads were forbidden from providing favorable treatment to any person or company or location.
... Railroads were required to display their rates and not charge higher than their posted rates.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

1. Tenochtitlan was the Aztec capital city.

2. Spanish kings spend their wealth in lavishes and buying goods from neighbouring countries.

3. Florida, Texas.

Explanation:

1. Tenochtitlan was the capital city and centre of the Aztec Empire founded in 1325. The city was established on a marshy island in Lake Texcoco with dwellings, pyramids, and storehouses. The Aztecs were able to settle where the lake served as a natural defence from enemies.

2. The Spanish economy was backward at the time it started acquiring colonies. The economy was weak as agriculture was not well developed because of infertile lands. The Spanish Kings receive bullion of gold and silver and spend on buying goods from neighbouring empires.

3. Florida and Texas were two Spanish colonies located in the United States.

The Indian Removal Act was signed by Andrew Jackson and it was a law that was supposed to call for the "voluntary" removal of Indians from their land. The United States wanted to expand and use their land, and ended up forcefully removing them and resulted in the removal of most Indians from the states altogether. Hope this helps! :)
