There used to be a right called “liberty of contract”. The government couldn’t compel someone to contract with another party. The died with the expansion of the Commerce Clause in the early 20th Century, which was used as the basis for the Civil Rights Acts. Liberty of contract is now quite dead.

Today, you can’t have a contract with a wage below the minimun wage.
