Why would a contract require a written agreement?

  1. To fulfill the conditions of the Statue of Frauds

  2. Because it looks more official

  3. To prevent any changes by any party

  4. To ensure faster legal proceedings in case of disputes

The correct answer is: To fulfill the conditions of the Statue of Frauds

A contract may require a written agreement to fulfill the conditions of the Statue of Frauds, which is a legal principle that requires certain contracts to be in writing in order to be enforceable. This helps protect all parties involved and ensures that the terms of the contract are clear and agreed upon by all. Option B is incorrect because the formality of a written agreement does not make the contract any more or less legitimate. Option C is incorrect because a written agreement does not necessarily prevent changes by either party, but instead outlines the terms that both parties have agreed upon. Option D is incorrect because a written agreement does not necessarily ensure faster legal proceedings, but instead provides clarity and legal validity to the contract.
