Explanation of Solution

The Sheman act of 1890 is the first antitrust law which is introduced with the aim of prohibiting monopolization and restrains trade in the monopoly market. The Clayton Act of 1914 is another antitrust law amended after the Sheman act. In Clayton Act, it discourages the anticompetitive or illegal trade practices in the market such as price discrimination, exclusive dealing, tying contract, stock acquisition of completing companies, and interlocking directorates. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is responsible for enforcing these two laws.
