The Bankruptcy law is a federal statutory law contained in title 11 of the United States codes. Congress passed the Bankruptcy Code under its Constitutional grant of the authority to establish a uniform law on the subject of the bankruptcy through out the United States. States may not regulate bankruptcy though they may pass the laws that govern other aspects of the debtor-creditor relationship. A number of the sections of the Title 11 incorporate the debtor – creditor law of the individual.

Bankruptcy allows a debtor, who is unable to pay his creditors to resolve his debts through the division of his assets among his creditors. The debtor is forced to resolve his debts through the division of his assets to his creditors.

This supervised division also allows the interests of all creditors to be treated with some measure of equality.
