The most important of the three antitrust laws is The Sherman Antitrust Act. It was passed in 1890 and outlaws the creation of a monopoly in any industry because of practices that hurt the competition.

The Clayton Act

The Clayton act is in place to stop prices from sky rocketing due to acquisitions, mergers, or other business practices. The government has the authority to stop large-scale moves made by companies in order to stop monopolistic practices.
