Amenable and liable especially stress subjection and suggest the contingency rather than the probability or certainty of being called to account.

One is amenable, usually to something, whose acts are subject to the control or the censure of a higher authority and who, therefore, is not self-governing or absolute in power.

One is liable that by the terms of the law may be made answerable in case of default.

Liable does not, however, always imply answerability. It may imply mere contingent obligation.
