None
Definition
A Contracts Clause claim is a legal argument asserting that the law or action impairs the obligations of existing contracts, either by retroactively changing the terms or by unduly burdening the parties' ability to enforce or perform their contractual rights and obligations. The Contracts Clause prohibits the impairment of contractual rights by the government without a legitimate and substantial public purpose.
