By declaring that the contract where the contractant "chooses" to waive a fundamental right is void. You find the same line of thought in Jean Jacques Rousseau's social contract : "To say that a man gives himself gratuitously, is to say what is absurd and inconceivable; such an act is null and illegitimate, from the mere fact that he who does it is out of his mind." French : "Dire qu’un homme se donne gratuitement, c’est dire une chose absurde et inconcevable ; un tel acte est illégitime et nul, par cela seul que celui qui le fait n’est pas dans son bon sens.
