Answer 2

Answer:

Both testify to the nations growing willingness to use federal measures to intervene in businesses on behalf of the public interest.

Explanation:

The Interstate Commerce Act was an Act passed by Congress in 1887 that aimed to create a federal regulatory agency designed to solve issues that the railroads created. Before the Act, many farmers and small businesses complained about the Railroad companies because they imposed them higher rates than to larger corporations as a way to control the market and favor those big companies.

The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 was a law that regulated competition between companies and curbs the concentration of power of a few big companies in America.
