Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890 to address growing concerns over monopolies and anti-competitive practices that stifled competition and harmed consumers. The act aimed to promote fair competition by making it illegal to restrain trade or commerce through monopolistic tactics. It empowered the federal government to investigate and prosecute companies that engaged in anti-competitive behavior, thereby attempting to regulate industry and protect the economic interests of the public.

The Interstate Commerce Commission was to monitor railroad operations. The Sherman Antitrust Act was to break up bad trusts that were affecting the economy. But, it was ineffective because there was no definition as to what a trust or bad trust was. So it was later replaced witht eh Clayton Antitrust Act.
The Sherman Anti-Trust Act regulated businesses that were deemed to be anticompetitive by creating a monopoly. Some companies affected by the Sherman Act were the Northern Securities Company, Standard Oil, and the American Tobacco Company.
The Clayton Antitrust Act was enacted by the US Congress October 15, 1914. The final version of the law passed the US Senate on October 5, 1914 and later by the House of Representatives October 8.
