Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The lack of a party's voluntary consent is a defense to the enforcement of a contract. If a party was not fully aware of what they were agreeing to, or if they were coerced into agreeing, the contract may not be enforceable. The other options given - a desire not to perform, insufficient capital, and preliminary indications of unsatisfactory results - are not valid defenses to the enforcement of a contract.
