Line 1:
Line 1: − The '''Bankruptcy Clause''' is Article I, § 8, cl. 4, of the [[U.S. Constitution]]. It provides that Congress shall have the power to establish "uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States." + − − A primary motivation for this clause was the interest in avoiding unjust imprisonment for debt and making federal discharges in bankruptcy enforceable in every State was a primary motivation for the adoption of that provision. But it extends broader than that, covering the entire "subject of Bankruptcies." − − The [[Supreme Court]] has thus held that the power granted to Congress by that Clause is a unitary concept rather than an amalgam of discrete segments.<ref>''[[Cent.
