The Sherman Antitrust Act and the Clayton Antitrust Act were passed in an effort to?
Reign in Big Business and set rates and standards for all transportation/freight charges and close monopolies in business that cut out the small Entrepeneurs. Competition is a good thing for both business and consumers. John Rockefeller was the original Trust Baron with Superior Oil, owning 90% of America's oil refineries.

These two acts changed how American business worked and helped spur increasing Entrepeneurs and manufacturers.
