The Federal Trade Commission was established on September 26, 1914, by the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq). Created by Congress at the urging of President woodrow wilson, the FTC was designed to regulate trusts and prevent Unfair Competition in interstate commerce.
Trust-busting was a major theme of the 1912 presidential election, and most political platforms that year favored the establishment of a trade commission. In 1914, Congress passed the Federal Trade Commission Act, creating an agency to enforce the new statutes and protect consumers from unfair business practices. The FTC assumed the duties of its less powerful predecessor, the federal Bureau of Corporations.
