Read the quotation from the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887.“All charges made for any service rendered or to be rendered in the transportation of passengers or property. . . or for the receiving, delivering, storage, or handling of such property, shall be reasonable and just; and every unjust and unreasonable charge for such service is prohibited and declared to be unlawful.”According to this quotation, what is against the law?
Answer
A
all charges for the transportation of people or handling of goods
B
services rendered for delivering, storage, or handling of property
C
unjust or unreasonable charges for transporting people or goods
D
unfair prices for the goods that are sold to consumers
Explanation
The quotation says transportation and handling charges must be “reasonable and just.” It then states that every unjust and unreasonable charge for these services is unlawful. Therefore, the choice saying unjust or unreasonable charges for transporting people or goods are against the law is correct; the law does not prohibit all charges.
