Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward  

Definición

  • Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward (1819) stands out not only because it was the U.S. Supreme Court's first case dealing with a dispute involving education but also because it provided constitutional protections for private contracts, albeit in an educational context. At issue in Dartmouth was the validity of private contracts after the New Hampshire legislature sought to overturn agreements that the college's trustees had entered.
