LAW IN ACTION CONTRACT AND THE SUPREME LAW Our Constitution, the supreme law of the land, gives contracts a key place. It says that no state can "pass any law impairing the obligation of contracts." And when one state did try to impair the obligation—in the famous Dartmouth College vs. Woodward—the Supreme Court cracked down. In 1769 the English governor of New Hampshire gave Eleazer Wheelock and eleven others a charter for Dartmouth college. Wheelock became president and could name his successor in his will. The trustees could fill board vacancies. In time, after our Constitution was adopted, a fight started over college management. So in 1816 the state legislature packed the board of trustees and created a board of overseers to take over. The old board sued Woodward, the college secretary, to get back its official seal, a token of its control. The state courts upheld the new board. But the case went up to the Supreme Court. There Daniel Webster, lawyer for the old trustees; made one of his greatest arguments, using the famous phrase "It was a small college, but I loved it dearly." Chief Justice Marshall asked: (1) Did our Constitution protect the old charter? (2) Did the state law impair it? To both he answered: Yes. (1) For Marshall, the charter was a contract among the state, the trustees, and the people who gave the college money. And so the Constitution protected this contract-charter. (2) Marshall held that under this contract, the old trustees could run the college. The state and the donors had put their trust in the old board. To take control from the old board would betray the donors' trust. So the state law—since it would impair this contract—was void.
