BANKRUPT
(bouvier) | BANKRUPT. A person who has done, or suffered some act to be done, which is
by law declared an act of bankruptcy; in such case he may be declared a
bankrupt.
2. It is proper to notice that there is much difference between a
bankrupt and an insolvent. A man may be a bankrupt, and yet be perfectly
solvent; that is, eventually able to pay all his debts or, he may be
insolvent, and, in consequence of not having done, or suffered, an act of
bankruptcy. He may not be a bankrupt. Again, the bankrupt laws are intended
mainly to secure creditors from waste, extravagance, and mismanagement, by
seizing the property out of the hands of the debtors, and placing it in the
custody of the law; whereas the insolvent laws only relieve a man from
imprisonment for debt after he has assigned his property for the benefit of
his creditors. Both under bankrupt and insolvent laws the debtor is required
to surrender his property, for the benefit of his creditors. Bankrupt laws
discharge the person from imprisonment, and his property, acquired after his
discharge, from all liabilities for his debts insolvent laws simply
discharge the debtor from imprisonment, or liability to be imprisoned, but
his after-acquired property may be taken in satisfaction of his former
debts. 2 Bell, Com. B. 6, part 1, c. 1, p. 162; 3 Am. Jur. 218.

BANKRUPTC
(bouvier) | BANKRUPTCY. The state or condition of a bankrupt.
2. Bankrupt laws are an encroachment upon the common law. The first in
England was the stat. 34 and 35 H. VIII., c. 4, although the word bankrupt
appears only in the title, not in the body of the act. The stat. 13 Eliz. c.
7, is the first that defines the term bankrupt, and discriminates bankruptcy
from mere insolvency. Out of a great number of bankrupt laws passed from
time to time, the most considerable are the statutes 13 Eliz. c. 7; 1 James
I., c. 19 21 James I., c. 19 5 Geo. II., c. 30. A careful consideration of
these statutes is sufficient to give am adequate idea of the system of
bankruptcy in England. See Burgess on Insolvency, 202-230.
3. The Constitution of the United States, art. 1, s. 8, authorizes
congress "to establish an uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws
on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States." With the
exception of a short interval during which bankrupt laws existed in this
country, this power lay dormant till the passage of the act of 1841, since
repealed.
4. Any one of the states may pass a bankrupt law, but no state bankrupt
or insolvent law can be permitted to impair the obligation of contracts; nor
can the several states pass laws conflicting with an act of congress on this
subject 4 Wheat. and the bankrupt laws of a state cannot affect the rights
of citizens of another state. 12 Wheat. It. 213. Vide 3 Story on the Const.
Sec. 1100 to 1110 2 Kent, Com. 321 Serg. on Const. Law, 322 Rawle on the
Const. c. 9 6 Pet. R. 348 Bouv. Inst. Index, h. t. Vide Bankrupt.
