How did president franklin d. roosevelt describe the notion of a ""liberty of contract

Liberty of contract is a long-forgotten principle that a free person may enter into agreements with another free person as they both see fit. The principle also dictated that neither other persons nor the State should interfere with the agreements.

For a long time, the courts honored liberty of contract, but in the Progressive Era, the State began to assert control over the economy and society. As the State exerted more control, liberty of contract became more curtailed. Liberty of contract was portrayed as the villain in the effort to impose government regulations on nearly everything, but primarily wages, hours of work, and who could legally work. Ultimately, the State prevailed and liberty of contract was rejected in favor of laws and regulations that foreclosed the parameters of individual contracts on the pretext of improving society as a whole.

Today, every contract has three parties: A promisor and a promisee— and the State, which dictates the subject matter, form, and costs of the contract. In short, liberty of contract is dead as a practical matter, and dead as a legal principle. - I hope this helped you.

the expansion of the rule of empires over other territories took place as a result of several reasons including economic, ethnocentric, political, and religious, and exploratory purposes.

in terms of economic purposes: imperial governments aimed to maximize profits and with that purpose they neeeded cheap labor, access to or control of markets to sell or buy products. they also desired to find natural resources (precious metals and land). in the awake of   industrial revolution, dependent colonies provided the necessary raw materials that european factories and market needed to manufacture products.  

ethnocentric: many territories were conquered by imperial territories in an attempt to spread their cultures, values and belief as they considered them to be superior. in the late 19th century, for example, european powers held   the racist belief that inferior races should be conquered in order to “civilize” them.

political: another reason that drove conquer and expansion was patriotism and growing imperial power. it refers to national prestige, pride, and security. empires sought strategic territory to ensure access for their navies and armies around the world.

religious: the aim of converting new member of other religions was another factor that prompted expansion.   christian missionaries from europe established churches in conquered territories during the nineteenth century. thus, they spread western cultural values. furthermore, the imperial nation’s language was spread as well, through educational and religious interactions.

exploratory: imperial nations or their citizens aimed to explore territory that was unknown to them,   for different purposes including medical or scientific research, however, at the very   beginning, they did it to embark on adventure. furthermore, imperial explorers sought to discover, map, and claim territory before their imperial competition did, for national and personal glory as well as to realize the imperialist goal of expansion.
