Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This scholarly work examines significant cases decided by the Supreme Court that brought to light issues surrounding the "Contract Clause" within Article I, Section 10 of the United States Constitution. The cases presented explore the Contract Clause's ability to protect individuals from overreaching state legislation, focusing on issues like the validity of laws passed by states that impair or nullify contracts, including land grants and corporate charters. The author analyzes the complex reasoning employed by the Court in these cases, highlighting the tension between the states' authority and the constitutional limits imposed on their ability to interfere with private contractual arrangements. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the Contract Clause, its historical development, and its ongoing relevance to the American legal system, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in the intricacies of constitutional law and the relationship between government and private parties.
