Federal+Trade+Commission+(FTC)





The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was created in 1914 by President Wilson and the Congress. Its purpose was to enforce the Clayton Act, set up fair trade laws, and to discontinue unfair working conditions, pay, and treatment of workers. The FTC court ruling also contributed to weakening the Clayton Act.
