美国建国初期,宪法契约条款是联邦最高法院判决有关财产权案件所依据的一项重要条款,特别是在马歇尔法院时期,最高法院频频启用该条款,将该条款广泛运用到公共和私人的合同中,极大地捍卫了私人财产权和契约的神圣性。作为早期联邦最高法院的核心人物,约翰·马歇尔对宪法契约条款尤为钟爱。

In the early period of the United States,the Contract Clause of the Constitution had been an important provision which was frequently used by the American Supreme Court as grounds to make a judgement in the property rights cases.This was particularly true in the years of Marshall Court.As the core figure of the Supreme Court,Chief Justice John Marshall was credited with having made the Contract Clause into a preeminent instrument to defend the sanctity of private property rights and contracts.
