Restriction

Read a random definition: Evarts Act

A quick definition of Restriction:

A restriction is a rule that stops someone from doing something. It can be a law, a contract, or a promise. Sometimes people want to put restrictions on things, but they can't always do it. For example, a government can't make a law that goes against the country's constitution. Also, if someone wants to stop someone else from selling their property, the court might not let them because they don't like it when people do that.

A more thorough explanation:

A restriction is a limit on what someone can do, usually set by a law, rule, contract, or agreement. For example, a law might restrict the amount of alcohol someone can drink before driving. Or a contract might restrict what someone can say about a company they used to work for.

However, there are limits to what restrictions can be put in place. For example, a law cannot restrict something that goes against the constitution. And courts are often hesitant to enforce restrictions on the buying and selling of property, because they believe people should have the freedom to do what they want with their own property.

Overall, restrictions are put in place to keep people safe and to make sure everyone follows the rules. But there are also limits to what restrictions can be put in place, to make sure people's rights are protected.
