Yet he successfully pressed Congress to pass the Sherman Anti-Trust Act to deal with the growing threat posed by corporate trusts and monopolies. Using his presidential power to protect a Supreme Court justice who had received threats of physical harm, Harrison also expanded the presidents power under the Constitutions Take Care Clause and began a practice that continues today. Ironically, the Supreme Court that Harrison helped shape subsequently thwarted many of his principal initiatives during his single term. Contact: [email protected]
