Option B, so that railroad companies couldn’t unfairly charge different rates is the right answer.  

Railroads during the 19th century became the main form of transportation for both men and goods. Therefore, the prices they charged and the methods they adopted had a direct influence on an individual. These Railroad companies had their pools over the area they serviced and that they had the power of prices fixing, excluding competitors, etc. In fact, <u>the lack of competition sometimes led to an</u><u> increase in the prices </u><u>for their services.  </u>

Therefore, The passing of the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, was a response of the federal government to raising public attention. This Act provided Congress with a right to regulate private corporations involved in interstate dealings by challenging the philosophy of laissez-faire economics. Although, this act gave some authority to the Congress over interstate railroad rates but it did not enable the government to fix specific rates.

The age of augustus was known as the golden age of roman literature because
Inessa05 [86]
<span>The age of Augustus is from 43 BC to AD 18 and it is called as golden age of roman literature because the age reached its highest literary expression in poetry, a polished and sophisticated verse generally addressed to a patron or to the emperor Augustus and dealing with themes of patriotism, love, and nature. During 29 BC to 19 BC, Livy began his monumental history of Rome, and another historian, Pollio, was writing his important but lost history of recent events. Ovid, the author of Metamorphoses, a mythological history of the world from the creation to the Augustan Age, was the last great writer of the Golden Age.</span>
