This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Obligation of Contracts Clause of the United States Constitution The obligation of a contract is, of course, chiefly deter mined by the language of the particular contract in ques tion, and the courts must necessarily interpret this language for themselves, so that, in many cases, perhaps in the greater part of those here reviewed, the court is engaged simply in construing the language of particular contracts. It is doing what any state court might have to do, under the ordinary law or under provisions in the state constitution, and which the Supreme Court itself might have had to do under the due process clause of the federal Constitution, as well as under the contracts clause. As one of the parties to these contracts is a State, however, a new aspect is put upon the question; the contract is no longer construed by the ordinary rules; it is interpreted in the light of a spe cial canon of construction that has been adopted by the courts, namely, that all such contracts are to be construed strictly against the grantee and in favor of the State. The general nature of this doctrine of strict construction must therefore be considered, and this will be followed by chap ters upon charters, special franchises, rate privileges and tax exemptions, all of which will be chiefly taken up with tracing the application of this doctrine to the facts of par ticular cases. The effect of mortgage foreclosures, consolidations, mer gers, sales and reorganizations of corporations is included in the study, first, because no Opinion can be given upon the question whether a corporation has or has not the privileges which belonged to its predecessor corporation unless one is familiar with the peculiar rules of law applicable to these transactions; secondly, because these rules very largely re sult from an application of the doctrine of strict con struction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few provisions of the American Constitution have had such a tumultuous history as the contract clause. Prompted by efforts in a number of states to interfere with debtor-creditor relationships after the Revolution, the clause—Article I, Section 10—reads that no state shall “pass any. . . Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts.” Honoring contractual commitments, in the framers' view, would serve the public interest to encourage commerce and economic growth. How the contract clause has fared, as chronicled in this book by James W. Ely, Jr., tells us a great deal about the shifting concerns and assumptions of Americans. Its history provides a window on matters central to American constitutional history, including the protection of economic rights, the growth of judicial review, and the role of federalism. Under the leadership of Chief Justice John Marshall, the Supreme Court construed the provision expansively, and it rapidly became the primary vehicle for federal judicial review of state legislation before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment. Indeed, the contract clause was one of the most litigated provisions of the Constitution throughout the nineteenth century, and its history reflects the impact of wars, economic distress, and political currents on reading the Constitution. Ely shows how, over time, the courts carved out several malleable exceptions to the constitutional protection of contracts—most notably the notion of an inalienable police power—thus weakening the contract clause and enhancing state regulatory authority. His study documents the near-fatal blow dealt to the provision by New Deal constitutionalism, when the perceived need for governmental intervention in the economy superseded the economic rights of individuals. Though the 1970s saw a modest revival of interest in the contract clause, the criteria for invoking it remain uncertain. And yet, as state and local governments try to trim the benefits of public sector employees, the provision has once again figured prominently in litigation. In this book, James Ely gives us a timely, analytical lens for understanding these contemporary challenges, as well as the critical historical significance of the contract clause.
