False.
The Sherman Antitrust Act (1890) was hard to enforce at first — its language was vague, courts often interpreted it narrowly (e.g., United States v. E. C. Knight Co., 1895), and corporations used legal structures and tactics to evade it. Stronger enforcement and clarifying legislation (like the Clayton Act, 1914) and later Supreme Court decisions were needed before antitrust law became more effective.
