One reason that the government faced difficulty defending the Sherman Antitrust Act in court was because
o
the act did not clearly define the terms "Trust" or "monopoly."
the terms "rust" and "monopoly" were too strictly defined in the act.
most of the judges were not familiar with the terms "rust" or "monopoly."
the act clearly defined the term "rust" but did not mention monopolies.

The price of oil and inflation are connected in a cause and effect relationship, that is, when the price of oil increases, inflation also increases in an economy. this is because, oil is a major input in the economy, that is, it is used for critical purposes such as fueling of vehicles for transportation, for running of industrial generators and machines, for heating homes, etc.for instance, if the price of oil increases in an economy, it will increase the cost of production for those using the oil in their production processes and they will automatically increase the cost of their products in order to offset the extra costs. this leads to general increase in the prices of products in the market and result in inflation.
