History

Historical Context

The Securities Act of 1933 was enacted in response to the 1929 Wall Street Crash, establishing regulations for financial disclosures to protect investors from misinformation. This act led to the creation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 1934, which oversees compliance in financial markets.
