The Federal Trade Commission Act (1914) established the Federal Trade Commission. The Act, signed by Woodrow Wilson in 1914, outlawed unfair methods of competition and outlaws unfair acts or practices that affect commerce.

A.K.A It was a protection against bigger business for the smaller businesses. During the time it was enforced, bigger businesses were known for scaring smaller owners and forcing them to give up their businesses all together -as a way to get rid of competition- FTC was made so that they couldn't do that and if they did there would be consequences.
