The MOST LIKELY reason that the Supreme Court did not initially agree with the Sherman Antitrust Act is:
A They believed that the act restricted all trade.
In the early cases related to the Sherman Antitrust Act, the Supreme Court often interpreted the provisions too narrowly, viewing them as potentially limiting legitimate business activities rather than protecting competition. This led to decisions that did not enforce the act strongly in its early years.
