21 janv. 1895 - United States v. E. C. Knight Co.

Description:

United States v. E. C. Knight Co., also known as the "Sugar Trust Case," was a 1895 Supreme Court case that significantly limited the government's power to control monopolies. The Court ruled that the Sherman Antitrust Act could only apply to commerce, not to manufacturing, thereby allowing the E. C. Knight Company's control of 98% of the sugar refining industry as it was deemed manufacturing rather than trade or commerce.
