Hello, and goodnight. The two acts that the Federal Government of 1800 tried to enforce for regulating business were The Sherman Act and the Interstate Commerce Act. Another is The Sherman Act was made to control irregular pricing of a product by a company. It simply tried to stop the monopoly nature of business. The interstate Commerce Act, on the other hand, tried to stop the railways from price discrimination. The railways often charged more for smaller products traveling for a shorter distance. This discrimination was controlled by this act.
