Generally you are limited to the benefit of the contract itself. Some contracts have what are called "liquidated damages" clauses, which provide for specific monetary damages where it is difficult to determine how much a breach will cost either party.

A penal clause in a contract acts as a deterrent to ensure that the parties fulfill their obligations as agreed. It serves as a form of security for the performance of the contract and provides a remedy in case of breach. Additionally, it helps to compensate the non-breaching party for any losses incurred due to the breach.

Yes. Federal law, state law and even municipal law prevail over negotiated contracts. A contract that requires one party to violate the law (e.g. a contract for an assassination), or relies on a concept invalidated by law (e.g. a contract for the sale of a slave) is unenforceable. Any law suit for breach of such a contract would be dismissed as soon as the violation of the applicable law was demonstrated. This is common to all jurisdictions based on British common law.
Breach is to security as violation is to law. Both terms indicate an infraction or infringement, with breach typically referring to a breach of security or contract, and violation often used in the context of breaking a law or rule.
The American Law Institute, a collection of legal scholars and practitioners, attempted to catalogue the common law of contracts in its Restatements of the Law of Contracts in 1932.
