Document Summary

A set of rules that people have to abide by. Difference between a rule and a law laws are enforced by the government. Laws: rules that have a connection to the state, or the government, and are enforced. Lords day act illegal for stores to be open on sundays. Lots of theories about what the law is: Legal positivists (such as machiavelli): say that might makes right , enforcement is the only thing that matters, based on this, nazi laws would have been valid. Hobbes, mill, theory rests in the middle: law is a law if it does good for society, if not then it isn"t, measure of a law is the benefit it provides society. Also have legal realists: none of this matters, law is what the judge had for breakfast , all depends on the judge- if he is a douche then that fuckin sucks. Cant say if any one is right or wrong.
