History of Contract

Dating back to imperial times, the system of contract and agreements were initially adopted by kings and queens who formulated deals with other rulers or emperors in order to establish a solid pact regarding authorities, boundaries, war settlements, etc. Later the rulers used the contract technique to pass on certain rights to royal family members and few upper class citizens for administration, trading and revenue collection.

In the middle age during industrialization, industries gained knowledge and came to know about importance of contracts and started using it initially for labour contracts and later for almost all key activities to deal with external world. Not only that companies entered into contacts with rulers to establish and expand its businesses – A best example is the contracts by East Indian Company with Indian rulers that paved way for their entry into India with intentions to later conquer it – That is the power of contract.

In the recent past, the growth of contact culture took a Para dynamic shift and reached to common man level for usage towards their various needs, can you believe that there are contracts entered for even marriage in certain countries.
