The Sherman Antitrust Act restricted monopolies by prohibiting activities that federal government regulators deemed "anti-competitive". It prohibited any contract, conspiracy or combination (ex. a trust) that attempted to restrain foreign or interstate trade. It also prohibited any attempt to monopolize any part of trade within the US.
