History

The government has continued to pursue antitrust prosecutions since World War II. The Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department watch for potential monopolies or act to prevent mergers that threaten to reduce competition so severely that consumers could suffer. Four cases show the scope of these efforts:

In 1945, in a case involving the Aluminum Company of America, a federal appeals court considered how large a market share a firm could hold before it should be scrutinized for monopolistic practices. The court settled on 90 percent, noting "it is doubtful whether sixty or sixty-five percent would be enough, and certainly thirty-three percent is not."

In 1961, a number of companies in the electrical equipment industry were found guilty of fixing prices in restraint of competition. The companies agreed to pay extensive damages to consumers, and some corporate executives went to prison.

In 1963, the U.S. Supreme Court held that a combination of firms with large market shares could be presumed to be anti-competitive. The case involved Philadelphia National Bank. The court ruled that if a merger would cause a company to control an undue share of the market, and if there was no evidence the merger would not be harmful, then the merger could not take place.

In 1997, a federal court concluded that even though retailing is generally unconcentrated, certain retailers such as office supply "superstores" compete in distinct economic markets. In those markets, the merger of two substantial firms would be anti-competitive, the court said. The case involved a home office supply company, Staples, and a building supply company, Home Depot. The planned merger was dropped.

How did taxes end the war of independence
natta225 [31]
The most important post war tax was the stamp act of 1765, causing everything that was made to have a stamp, confirming that the tax had been paid but was repealed because the colonists didn’t like it. More acts were made to raise revenue but colonists weren’t happy either. Lawyer John Dickinson argued that “taxation without representation was not allowed”. In return, the tea act was made to tax tea imported. The colonists thought the best way to protest the act was to turn away ships carrying tea. And in places like New York, they were able to do so, but not in Boston because the governor of Massachusetts did not allow for ships to be turned away. So the colonists dumped all the tea, also known as the Boston tea party. The British were angry at the Americans so they closed the harbor, town meetings were banned, etc. this increased resistance from both Massachusetts and Britain to which led the revolutionary war. Then shortly after, congress voted to separate from Great Britain and then two days later the declaration or independence was signed :)
