I basically agree but as a civil instrument, a contract is not a law. The only consequence of violating a contract should be having to pay back whatever damages were caused. Not prohibitions on behavior or other freedoms. Enforced by whom?

Corporations will violate contracts all the time as a cost of business if the cost of the violation is less than the benefit gained.

In the US, a contract is considered law. It’s just only between the parties.

Tort law and criminal law are two of the many subtypes.

You will not go to jail for breaking a contract. The only remedies are civil.

Right. But it’s still law. Civil law.
