Contracts are an extension of the free will of free persons to come to agreement with one another, or to part company. Ostensibly this is the object of good government and of good contract law, to protect this, and to arbitrate disagreements of contracts, not merely whatever sausage legislatures manage to pass legislatures, and not to protect persons from themselves.
It is not all to dissimilar, this notion that we are to be protected from disfavored contracts, from the conservative notion that the purpose of government is to protect our lives over everything else, liberty included.
