Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Antitrust Division of the Justice Department is responsible for enforcing antitrust laws and has the authority to initiate legal action against entities that violate these laws. It does not have a fixed membership like some commissions, nor does it issue cease-and-desist orders or establish trade regulations; those functions are more characteristic of other regulatory bodies or the Federal Trade Commission.
