Question
what did the supreme court rule in the munn v. illinois case?
states can regulate railroads that operate interstate.
states can regulate grain storage fees in their states.
states cannot regulate large businesses at all.
states cannot regulate railroads that operate interstate.
In the Munn v. Illinois case, the Supreme Court ruled that states have the power to regulate certain private businesses that are "clothed in the public interest," such as grain storage facilities (elevators) within their states. The first option is incorrect as it relates to interstate railroads (addressed in other cases like Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific Railway Co. v. Illinois), the third and fourth options go against the ruling. The correct option is about states regulating grain storage fees in their states.
