When government breaks its economic promises — retroactively cutting pensions, impairing bond obligations, altering contractual arrangements that parties relied upon — the Constitution demands accountability. The Contracts Clause, the Takings Clause, and the Due Process Clause together constitute the constitutional framework that limits government's power to escape the commitments it has made. Mastering this framework is essential for every lawyer who represents clients whose economic rights depend on government keeping its word.
The Constitutional Contracts Clause and Economic Remedies Warrior is Volume LX — the final volume — of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series, delivering the complete constitutional guide to economic remedies.
Wayne Richard Evangelista covers the complete economic remedies constitutional landscape: the Contracts Clause from Dartmouth College v. Woodward and Home Building & Loan Association v. Blaisdell through Allied Structural Steel v. Spannaus, Energy Reserves Group v. Kansas Power & Light, and Sveen v. Melin — the substantial impairment standard, the significant-and-legitimate-purpose requirement, and the heightened scrutiny for government-as-party contracts; pension obligation modifications — the Illinois pension litigation, Detroit Chapter 9 bankruptcy, Puerto Rico PROMESA restructuring, and the constitutional constraints on state and municipal pension impairment; the Stern v. Marshall framework for bankruptcy court constitutional authority under Article III; the Takings Clause as a backstop for economic deprivations the Contracts Clause does not reach; student loan constitutional dimensions under Biden v. Nebraska; and the intersection of the Contracts Clause with public utility franchise obligations, collective bargaining agreements, and government insurance programs.
For every lawyer whose clients depend on the Constitution holding government to its economic commitments, this volume — and this series — closes with the complete constitutional arsenal.
