Laws
prescribe only for the future; they cannot impair the obligation of contracts
nor, ordinarily, have a retrospective operation. Laws looking only to the remedy
or mode of trial may apply to contracts, rights, and offenses entered into,
accrued, or committed prior to their passage; but in every case a reasonable
time subsequent to the passage of the law should be allowed for the citizen to
enforce his contract or to protect his right.
