This allows the government to review the proposed merger for antitrust concerns and potentially block the merger or require divestitures to address any competitive issues. The Sherman Act prohibits anticompetitive behavior, including monopolization and price fixing. The Celler-Kefauver Antimerger Act of 1950 amended the Clayton Act and expanded the government's authority to review and block mergers. The Robinson-Patman Act prohibits price discrimination.
