Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Sherman Antitrust Act was a landmark federal statute in the history of United States antitrust law (or "competition law") passed by Congress in 1890. It was designed to combat anticompetitive practices, reduce market domination by individual corporations, and preserve unfettered competition as the rule of trade. One of its most famous applications was the breaking up of the Standard Oil Company in 1911, which was deemed to be in violation of the act due to its practices of monopolizing the petroleum industry through a series of abusive and anticompetitive actions.
