Monopolization does not violate constitutional law which is the Supreme law of the Land and is the ONLY source of valid federal gov’t action.

States operating under their state laws, fine. But the feds are bound and limited by only those powers enumerated by the Constitution, which gives the feds no power over monopolization.

A close look reveals the feds are behind any issues regarding monopolization. But in the market economy FREE from gov’t interference, “monopolization” normally doesn’t last too long.

The Boston Tea Party was an act against the British government and the East India Company, which had a monopoly over tea importations to the colonies.

The efforts of the English government, backed by English merchants and manufacturers, to deny to the Americans the right to compete in foreign markets and to secure the benefits of foreign competition was one of the most potent causes of the American Revolution.

James Madison proposed during the Philadelphia convention to give the federal government the power to grant "charters of incorporation." This proposal was voted down because, as Rufus King of Massachusetts argued, it might lead to "mercantile monopolies," as had happened in England before the American Revolution. George Mason also objected to giving Congress the power to grant charters of incorporation arguing that this power would lead to "monopolies of every sort".

The other provision in the original Constitution which was relevant to the monopoly issue was the Privileges and Immunities Clause of Article IV, Section 2, which states "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States." Similar privileges and immunities clauses had also been included in many of the colonial charters and in the Articles of Confederation. The "privileges" and "immunities" which the Articles of Confederation protected were the traditional rights that the American people had always had as Englishmen. The Articles thus provided that: "The Inhabitants of each Colony shall henceforth always have the same Rights, Liberties, Privileges, Immunities and Advantages in the other Colonies, which the said Inhabitants now have". This included the right to be free of monopolies.
