Key federal statutes responded to demands for a single national authority

Evidence

There were other triumphs of uniformity, however, that are easy to overlook, because they did not come out of the formal movement for uniform laws. The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, the Bankruptcy Act of 1898, were all in a real sense responses to demands, commercial or political, for a single national authority. — Lawrence M. Friedman, A History of American Law, 2368
