oct 25, 1886 - Wabash v. Illinois (policy)

Description:

Event: The Supreme Court ruled that states could not regulate interstate commerce, limiting their ability to control railroad monopolies.

Impact: This led to the creation of the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) in 1887, but initial enforcement was weak, allowing railroad monopolies to persist.
