The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 was largely influenced by the efforts of various reformers and politicians, most notably Congressman William McKinley and Senator John H. Mitchell. However, it was President Grover Cleveland who played a crucial role in advocating for the legislation, recognizing the need to regulate the railroads to curb monopolistic practices and protect consumers. The act established the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to oversee and enforce regulations on railroad rates and practices.
