How did president franklin d. roosevelt describe the notion of a ""liberty of contract

Liberty of contract is a long-forgotten principle that a free person may enter into agreements with another free person as they both see fit. The principle also dictated that neither other persons nor the State should interfere with the agreements.

For a long time, the courts honored liberty of contract, but in the Progressive Era, the State began to assert control over the economy and society. As the State exerted more control, liberty of contract became more curtailed. Liberty of contract was portrayed as the villain in the effort to impose government regulations on nearly everything, but primarily wages, hours of work, and who could legally work. Ultimately, the State prevailed and liberty of contract was rejected in favor of laws and regulations that foreclosed the parameters of individual contracts on the pretext of improving society as a whole.

Today, every contract has three parties: A promisor and a promisee— and the State, which dictates the subject matter, form, and costs of the contract. In short, liberty of contract is dead as a practical matter, and dead as a legal principle. - I hope this helped you.

1) checks and balances- this idea is implemented in the constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government gains too much power. for example, the legislative branch(congress) can approve a bill that will then be sent to the executive branch (president). if the president does not like the bill or thinks that it violates the rights of citizens, he/she can veto the bill. vetoing the bill stops the bill from becoming a law. this check on power ensures that congress makes laws that do not violate the rights of citizens.

2) anti-federalists do not want to ratify the constitution unless it includes a bill of rights. the anti-federalists are worried that the constitution gives too much power to the federal government. having a strong central government caused problems when the us was still part of great britain. this is why the anti-federalists are fearful of this type of system.

3) federalists want a new constitution passed because it will fix america's weak political structure. before the us constitution is implemented, the constitution being used is known as the articles of confederation. this constitution has an extremely weak central government, allowing for disunity among the states.
