What constitute a valid contract?

An enforceable contract requires the existence of the following elements: an offer, an acceptance that mirrors the terms of the offer, consideration, and lawful subject matter. The "consideration" can consist of money, property, a promise--just about anything of value that is not unlawful. Generally, a court will not inquire into the adequacy of the consideration. "Consideration" might be thought of as the "this for that" or the "quid pro quo". Even of the other elements are present, a contract cannot be enforced if the object of it is unlawful. That is, one cannot, for example, enforce a contract to rob a bank.
