A. the Clayton Act.B. the Robinson-Patman Act.C. the Federal Trade Commission Act.D. the Sherman Act.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. the Clayton Act.

Explanation:

The source of today's antitrust laws is the Sherman Act, the American Antitrust Law of July 2, 1890, supplemented later by the Clayton Act of 1914, and the Law that created the Federal Trade Commission the same year, the american antitrust agency.

Some authors claim that the Sherman Act was designed to protect the market itself, which would be self-destructing due to excessive economic freedom. It is even argued that the American antitrust law represented a supposed salvation from liberalism, which, without regulation, would give rise to monopolistic concentrations that distorted the natural rules of competition.
