	Did You Know?
	Someone Cannot Enter Into A Contract If The Agreement Is Not Enforced Someone cannot enter into a contract if it is impossible to carry out what is in the agreement. For example, someone agrees to sell you a car and you agree to buy that car. But the car gets stolen before you sign the agreement. Then it is impossible for the contract to be enforced because there is no car.
