  • the main reason the interstate commerce commission had difficulty enforcing reforms was because the commission had no power to ban rate discrimination this led to an undermining of the authority
  • Answer:the courts often ruled against the commission

    Explanation:

    The objectives of the Interstate Commerce Commission created by The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 were to monitor railroads and to ensure that they complied with the new laws. The commission was formed to regulate reforms, however, it found that the courts habitually ruled in favor of the firms so it was difficult for the commission to enforce reforms.
