The interstate commerce act of 1887 authorized the federal government to regulate the railroad industry. which group of people was most supportive of government regulation of the railroad industry?

farmers

Explanation:

The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 was passed by President Grover Cleveland. This law was intended to regulate the transport of goods through railway industries. Under this law, rail industries were required to set fair tariffs for the transport of goods without discriminating prices for smaller markets that shipped less freight, and they had to disclose tariffs that were to be fair and reasonable.

Farmers became very supportive of this regulation, as it reduced spending on the transportation of agricultural products and tools, as well as favoring small farmers.
