When one party makes an offer to another and they reach an agreement, a contract is formed. An agreement reached between the cooperating parties contains a promise, for example, one party agrees to sell a vehicle for $500 and the other party accepts and pays the money then receives the merchandise. This constitutes an acceptance of assent between parties showing that the parties agree with the terms offered. To ensure fairness of trade for goods and services, contracts are enacted between individuals in the event one party breaks their promise or breaches the contract.…

Elements of a contract formation include offer, acceptance and consideration (Colorado State University – Global Campus, 2016). Without proper formation, contracts can be invalid (Lau, 2011). The six elements of contract formation are offer, acceptance, consideration, mutuality of obligation, competency and capacity, and sometimes a written instrument (US Legal, n.d.). Contracts can be both bilateral, meaning an agreement between two parties, or unilateral, where action is taken by one party or group (Lau, 2011). This…

Federal Hill was a expanse and crowded part of the city. Even though it was distant from the Mount Vernon neighborhood of Baltimore, it was marginally convenient, but served as an area for friends to meet. “Uh huh, I almost forgot, if he is not at his estate, tell his slave, Elvira to give you the package, you're the son of Mr. Caleb A. Housley.” “Thanks father, I will complete the task as soon as possible,” I replied gleefully. After finish my breakfast, and enjoying my parents company, I packed everything in my knapsack for the boys educational school.
