Legal vs Moral

I think Henry's position is something like:

- legal things are ones you have a right to do without anyone using force against you

- all contracts are legal, including their enforcement

with those premises, then a third party who thinks something is a bad way to live, but legal, must not intervene.

but I disagree that all contracts ought to be legal. that allows for slavery contracts. i think it needs to be legal to quit a contract and only owe damages.
