Answer: Antitrust law

Explanation:

The Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, was a part of the United States antitrust law with the aim of adding further substance to the United States antitrust law regime.

The Clayton Act was to prevent anticompetitive practices. It was enacted in 1914 with the objective of strengthening Sherman Antitrust Act. When Sherman Act was enacted in 1890, the regulators realized that that the act had some weaknesses which made it impossible to prevent anti-competitive practices in businesses so the Clayton Act addressed the issue.
