A quick definition of hazardous contract:

A hazardous contract is a type of contract that involves a risk or uncertainty for one or both parties. This type of contract is also known as an aleatory contract. A contract is an agreement between two or more people that creates legal obligations. It can be a written document or a verbal agreement. The legal relations resulting from the agreement consist of rights and duties, and the sum of these legal relations is called an obligation. A hazardous contract is one where the outcome is uncertain, and there is a chance of loss or gain for one or both parties.

A more thorough explanation:

A hazardous contract is a type of contract that is considered risky or uncertain for one or both parties involved. It is also known as an aleatory contract. This type of contract is based on an uncertain event or outcome, and the parties involved may not know the exact outcome or consequences of the contract.

  • Insurance policies are a common example of hazardous contracts. The policyholder pays a premium to the insurance company, and in return, the insurance company agrees to pay out a certain amount of money if a specific event occurs, such as a car accident or a house fire. The outcome of the contract is uncertain, as the event may or may not happen.
  • Another example of a hazardous contract is a gambling agreement. The parties involved agree to bet on a certain outcome, such as the winner of a sports game or the roll of a dice. The outcome is uncertain, and one party may win or lose money based on the result.

These examples illustrate how a hazardous contract is based on an uncertain event or outcome, and the parties involved may not know the exact consequences of the contract. This type of contract can be risky for one or both parties, as the outcome may not be in their favor.

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

@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.
