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 primary purpose of the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, and the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914 was to regulate and promote fair competition in the marketplace. The Interstate Commerce Act aimed to oversee railroad rates and practices to prevent monopolistic behaviors, while the Sherman Antitrust Act outlawed monopolies and practices that restrained trade. The Clayton Antitrust Act built upon these efforts by addressing specific anti-competitive practices and providing more robust protections for consumers and businesses. Together, these laws sought to curb corporate power and ensure a more equitable economic environment.
There are three major federal antitrust laws: The Sherman Antitrust Act, the Clayton Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act.
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.
