## Definition

A Compact Clause claim is a legal argument asserting that a particular agreement or compact between states or between a state and a foreign power violates the Compact Clause of the United States Constitution. This claim contends that the agreement or compact exceeds the scope of authority granted by the Compact Clause, which requires congressional approval for interstate compacts that impact the balance of power between states or have implications for federal supremacy.
