1. Rules of stare decisis also structure the temporal parameters of legal change and are closely related to the analysis of retroactivity considered in this Article, but direct exploration of the relationship is beyond this Article's scope. Takings, Ex Post Facto, and Contract Clause jurisprudence also pose related questions. See infra pp. 1072-73; cf. HENRY M. HART, JR. & ALBERT M. SACKS, THE LEGAL PROCESS: BASIC PROBLEMS IN THE MAKING AND APPLICATION OF LAW 620 (William N. Eskridge, Jr. & Philip P. Frickey eds., rev. ed. 1994) (describing the Contract Clause limitation on retroactive application of a statute, but explaining that "the Constitution steps in to forbid not the retroactive imposition of a burden on primary conduct but the deprivation of an expected benefit from a previous exercise of a primary power").
