Legal positive: might makes right (can enforce then law) Must be element of enforcement or just suggestion. :law is measure by how much socially utility is creates. Trumps all = in canada government must obey law: written : charter, constitution act. Change when government decides to change them (new ones typically) Don"t know -> go to cases & look for predictability.
