Events that led to the creation of the FTC. July 2, 1890, the Sherman Anti-Trust Act was the first law passed by congress to prevent monopolistic business practices. Named after Senator John Sherman of Ohio, he had this law to pass the senate with a unanimous vote of 51-1 and the House with a vote of 242-0. President Harrison signed it into law in 1890. The Sherman Anti-Trust Act authorized government to make it illegal to make a “restraint of trade or commerce among the several states or with foreign nations”.
