The Sherman Act prohibits activities that restrict interstate commerce and competition in the marketplace. It also prohibits monopolization or attempts at monopolizing any aspect of interstate trade or commerce.
It prohibited specific means of anticompetitive conduct. The Act was aimed at regulating businesses. However, its application was not limited to the commercial side of business. It's prohibition of the cartel was also interpreted to make illegal many labor union activities. This is because unions were characterized as cartels.
