C2 300 Answer What is the Sherman
Anti-trust Act?
A trust is a centuries-old form of a contract whereby one party entrusts its property to a second party. The property is then used to benefit the first party.
In 1879, C. T. Dodd, an attorney for the Standard Oil Company of Ohio, devised a new type of trust agreement to overcome prohibitions in Ohio against corporations owning stock in other corporations.
The Sherman Act is essentially a "competition law." The purpose of the Act was to oppose the combination of entities that could potentially harm competition, such as monopolies or cartels.The law attempts to prevent the artificial raising of prices by restriction of trade or supply.
