The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 aimed to regulate railroad rates and practices, addressing concerns over monopolistic control and unfair pricing in the transportation industry. Similarly, the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 sought to combat anti-competitive practices by prohibiting monopolies and restraining trade.

The ICC and Railroads have always had a long and fascinating relationship. They have demanded safety appliances such as standard brake equipment and handrails. They have been the final decision maker when it comes to Railroad mergers, the Southern Pacific/ Santa Fe merger being an outstanding example. Also see: The Heburn (1906) & Staggers (1980) Rail acts. If nobody's written a book on the subject I'd be shocked.
Congress uses its power to regulate commerce among the several states to justify the passage of environmental protection laws?
Yes, and anything else imaginable. The Supreme Court only recently (relatively speaking) recognized a limit to Congress' power under the Interstate Commerce Clause in the case of United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549 (1995).Essentially, the Court held that Congress' power to regulate interstate commerce does not extend to activity that is both "non-economic" and "wholly intrastate." Congress may, on the other hand, regulate the "channels" of commerce (e.g., highways, rivers, railroads, etc.), "instrumentalities" of commerce (e.g., products/services bought and sold in commerce, and the means by which they travel interstate), and those activities which "substantially effect" interstate commerce. To take the Lopez case, for example, banning the mere possession of a gun within 1000 ft. of a school was neither a regulation of a channel or instrumentality of interstate commerce. The government argued that guns in/near schools had a negative effect on education; if education suffers, students won't learn as much; if American students are stupid, they will not perform as well in future jobs; therefore guns near schools have a "substantial effect" on the national economy, and thus also on interstate commerce.The Supreme Court said, "hell no... you've got to be kidding." (That's not a direct quote, just in case you're wondering.)
Did The case of US v Lopez ( 1995) place a limit of the national government relating to its authority under the commerce clause in its Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990?
Yes, the case of U.S. v. Lopez (1995) placed a limit on the national government's authority under the Commerce Clause. The Supreme Court ruled that the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 exceeded Congress's powers because possessing a gun in a school zone did not substantially affect interstate commerce. This decision emphasized the need for a clearer connection between regulated activities and interstate commerce, reinforcing states' rights and limiting federal overreach.
