Prohibition
Answer
Trusts and Monopolies posed significant legal challenges during Wallace's tenure. The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 aimed to curb the power of monopolies and promote fair competition. Simultaneously, the issue of trusts, large corporations that controlled a substantial portion of a specific industry, also came under scrutiny. Efforts were made to regulate these entities to prevent the accumulation of excessive economic power and protect consumers.
