constructive assent

Read a random definition: Rural Electrification Administration

A quick definition of constructive assent:

Constructive assent is when someone is considered to have given their agreement or permission based on their behavior or actions, even if they did not explicitly say so. This is important in contract law, where both parties need to have a clear understanding of what they are agreeing to. There are different types of assent, including actual assent (when someone clearly expresses their agreement), implied assent (when someone's behavior implies agreement), and mutual assent (when both parties agree to the terms of a contract). In modern contract law, mutual assent is determined by an objective standard, meaning that it is based on the actions and intentions of the parties involved.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Constructive assent is when someone's agreement or approval is implied based on their conduct, even if they did not explicitly express their willingness.

For example, if someone goes to a restaurant and orders food, they are giving constructive assent to pay for the meal. Even if they did not explicitly say they would pay, their conduct of ordering and consuming the food implies that they will pay for it.

Another example is when someone signs a contract without reading it thoroughly. Even if they did not fully understand the terms of the contract, their conduct of signing it implies that they agree to the terms and conditions.

Constructive assent is important in contract law because it helps determine whether both parties have a clear understanding of what they are getting into. It is based on an objective standard, meaning that it is determined by the actions and conduct of the parties involved.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
