The Sherman Antitrust Act, enacted in 1890, empowered the federal government to combat monopolistic practices and promote fair competition in the marketplace. It prohibited agreements or conspiracies that restrained trade and made it illegal for companies to engage in anti-competitive practices, such as price-fixing or market division. The Act granted the government the authority to investigate and prosecute violators, enabling the Department of Justice to file lawsuits against companies deemed to be violating antitrust laws. Ultimately, it aimed to protect consumers and ensure a competitive economy.
