Mark Antitrust Act

The Mark Antitrust Act, often referred to as the Sherman Antitrust Act, is a landmark U.S. law enacted in 1890 that aims to promote fair competition. It prohibits business practices that reduce competition, such as monopolies, trusts, and collusive arrangements that can harm consumers or other businesses. By preventing these anti-competitive behaviors, the Act seeks to ensure a healthy, competitive marketplace that encourages innovation, fair pricing, and a variety of choices for consumers. It provides the government with the authority to investigate and take legal action against entities that violate free-market principles.
