The Sherman Antitrust Act (Sherman Act), July 2, 1890, ch. 647, 26 Stat. 209, 15 U.S.C. & I was the first United States Federal statute to limit cartels and monopolies. It falls under antitrust law. The Act provides: "Every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, is declared to be illegal". The Act also provides: "Every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, shall be deemed guilty of a felony ..." The Act put responsibility upon government attorneys and district courts to pursue and investigate trusts, companies and organizations suspected of violating the Act. 1, record 1, English, - Sherman%20Antitrust%20Act

Le Sherman Antitrust Act du 2 juillet 1890 est la première tentative du gouvernement américain de limiter les comportements anticoncurrentiels des entreprises : il signe ainsi la naissance du droit de la concurrence moderne. La loi américaine porte le nom du Sénateur John Sherman de l'Ohio qui s'éleva contre le pouvoir émergent de certaines entreprises constituées en quasi-monopoles : «Si nous refusons qu'un Roi gouverne notre pays, nous ne pouvons accepter qu'un Roi gouverne notre production, nos transports ou la vente de nos produits.». L'expression d'"anti-trust" vient du fait que la proposition de loi visait à contrer les agissements d'un groupe pétrolier, la Standard Oil, qui était constitué en "trust" et non sous la forme d'une société dont les droits étaient, à l'époque, limités. Ironiquement, lorsque la Standard Oil fut démantelée, elle avait pris déjà la forme d'une société et le Sherman Antitrust Act ne s'appliqua plus guère aux trusts. 1, record 1, French, - Sherman%20Antitrust%20Act
