2. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
NAKED. This word is used in a metaphorical sense to denote that a thing is 
not complete, and for want of some quality it is either without power, or it 
possesses a limited power. A naked contract, is one made without 
consideration, and, for that reason, it is void; a naked authority, is one 
given without any right in the agent, and wholly for the benefit of the 
principal. 2 Bouv. Inst. n. 1302. See Nudum Pactum.
