Can you sue a person who owes you money with no contract signed?
Yes . Assemble any available documentation of the loan for a legal action. This should include proof of withdraw from your bank account, canceled checks and substantiating testimony by witnesses to the loan arrangement. You should also document proof that part of the money has been paid back, if this is the case. The court will likely see partial payment as evidence that the loan in fact existed.

Anyone who is self-sufficient* would feel threatened by the social contract theory. An example from TV would be Grizzly Adams (or anyone who could function on their own as he did). For anyone who does not know Grizzly Adams think of living without public resources such as water, electricity, and roads. You would take care of everything you need; everything.
*Note: self-sufficient has nothing to do with money because you need the social contract theory to make money or even have a currency.

Also called an "indemnification", this type of agreement protects someone from being sued because of what a third person does to the victim. For example, before I let you clean the floors of my office, you will have to indemnify me (hold me harmless) if you negligently leave a dangerous condition that injures a visitor.

No. You can make a verbal contract if you so desire, with only the two parties. But, it's not worth the paper it's printed on. Legal contracts require three things.

But even if you scribble crap on a napkin and if it meets the minimum requirements, it's valid.
Are minors considered competent parties to enter an agreement?
At common law, contracts made with minors are voidable. This means that a child that enters into a contract and then repudiates it cannot be held liable. However, a non-minor party is bound and liable. Since the contract is not void, it is deemed to exist; however, the limitations on liability severely reduce the consequences of repudiation where the minor-party is concerned.
There is one narrow exception for "necessities". Also, it is possible for a minor child to enter into a contract, at which time it is voidable, and then for the former child-party to ratify the contract once the former child-party has reached age of majority. It thereafter is enforceable against the former child-party. In seeking to enforce these types of contracts it might be possible to prove a lack of a capacity on the part of a child to understand the consequences of his or her actions or words in entering into a contract, but this would have to be a peculiar or extraordinary situation.

Not all contracts are legally enforceable. For a contract to be enforceable, it typically must meet certain legal requirements, including mutual consent, consideration, legal capacity of the parties, and a lawful purpose.

Therefore, while many contracts are enforceable, various conditions can render them invalid.

A contract is defined in law as an agreement between two parties with an offer, acceptance, and consideration.
Can a contract or agreement be cancelled?
Way too vague. You need to tell us why the contract is bad. There are lots of ways to void a contract depending on a wide variety of circumstances. If you really want to have this question answered, elaborate and tell us why you think the contract is bad and also tell us how the contract was entered into and what the terms of the contract were. If you want an honest answer, tell us the truth. Don't tell us your side, tell us what might be a third person's understanding of the contract.
If you promised to do something based on a valid offer, acceptance, consideration and a meeting of the minds of the terms of the promise then it is binding as an enforceable contract. A party to the contract cannot cancel it later simply because it becomes economically "bad" or disadvantageous or if the party simply changes his mind.
A "bad" contract can be canceled for any number of reasons. There are two types of "bad" contracts that may be canceled. One is if the contract itself is invalid because it lacks the essential elements of a contract. This is where there is no consideration, a mutual misunderstanding of the terms, a misrepresentation by one party that causes the other to misunderstand the contract and other reasons that go to the nature of the contract itself.
Another is even if the contract has all the essential elements but is for an illegal action, is against the established public policy of the state or country or is an oral contract where the law requires a written one. However, even when the contract is oral instead of a required written one, you might not be able to cancel it if there has been part performance of the oral agreement.
