 Superior Court of North Carolina
Cruden v. Neale
2 N.C. 338 (N.C. Super. 1796)
Decided May 1, 1796

"That the majority shall prevail is a rule posterior to the formation of government, and results from it. It is not a rule binding upon mankind in their natural state. There, every man is independent of all laws, EXCEPT THOSE PRESCRIBED BY NATURE. He is not bound by any institutions formed by his fellowmen without his consent." (emphysis mine)

Clausula rebus sic stantibus is the legal doctrine allowing for a contract or a treaty to become inapplicable because of a fundamental change of circumstances. In public international law the doctrine essentially serves an "escape clause" to the general rule of pacta sunt servanda (promises must be kept).
