The U.S. v. E.C. Knight
The main purpose of both the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Clayton Antitrust Act was to promote fair competition and prevent monopolistic practices in the marketplace. The Sherman Act, enacted in 1890, aimed to outlaw all forms of anticompetitive agreements and monopolies. The Clayton Act, passed in 1914, built on the Sherman Act by addressing specific practices like price discrimination and exclusive dealing, providing more detailed regulations to protect consumers and promote fair business practices. Together, these laws sought to foster a competitive economy and safeguard consumer interests.
