Antitrust laws
The Big Business era began when businesses in search of profits consolidated into massive corporations so large that they could force out all competition. Control of a market allowed a corp to set prices at whatever level it wanted. Consumers grew enraged over high prices, while small businesses demanded protection from being squeezed out. Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act, which outlawed trusts and any other contracts that restrained free trade.
Antitrust laws may break up corporations or businesses that have too much power. They are also broken up to allow consumers a choice on who they want to do business with.
