The Contract Clause of the Constitution

'œAs Professor Wright explains in his Introduction, he does not intend his volume as a legal treatise. His concern has been rather to portray 'the role of the Supreme Court as a governing body in American life.' His emphasis, consequently, is on the important cases, both those which mark the expansion and the contraction of the obligation of contracts clauses as a basis of judicial review. In the realization of this purpose he has been enviably successful.'' Annals of The American Academy of Political and Social ScienceBenjamin Fletcher Wright is the author of 'The Contract Clause of the Constitution', published 1982 under ISBN 9780313228919 and ISBN 0313228914.
