Anti-Trust

Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890


The Sherman Nti-Trust Act forbade combinations to restrain trade. It was a weak law at first but was later strengthened to increase its effectiveness. This too was meant to only target bad trusts and leave the others intact.



Clayton Anti-Trust Act of 1914

The Clayton Anti-Trust Act strengthened the Sherman list of non-OKed business practices, while making labor and agricultural unions legal. Wilson passed this regulation as part of his plan to scale the triple wall of priviledge for progressives.
