LAD #27

The Clayton Anti-Trust Act was created to regulate commerce and big business and to prevent corruptness.  It was made as a supplement to the Sherman Anti-Trust act and to prevent businesses from becoming too powerful and to protect small businesses.  The law states that companies can't discriminate when selling goods, meaning they can't sell goods to one company for a different price than another company.  It also states that a company can't offer a sale or price deduction if a company buys from them instead of a competitor.  Finally the Clayton Anti-Trust Act regulates the sale of stocks imposing limits on how much stock a company can have of a competitor or another company.
