What is "Treaty" and what is "contract"
First of all, the difference in the origin of these terms. The word "contract" - Russian; initially it was determined the design of the transaction and obligations of the parties in an oral form, then the agreement becomes a legal term and was to have force only in the case when it was concluded in written form. After all, the only written form of the transaction could testify about what was agreed and what were the obligations undertaken by the parties that each of them should do as part of their execution. Later, with the development of the legal relationship, a contract has acquired a well-established form of the name, and for their preparation requires only to fill in the details of the parties involved.
The word "contract" comes from the Latin "contractus," which means "deal." Ie in essence it is the same contract. This term originated in the legal dictionary after the domestic enterprises, and before the merchants began to trade and sign agreements with foreign partners. Therefore, the contract and contract are synonyms.
