| 单词 | positivism |
| 释义 | positivism positivism as a theory of law, it may be summarised by saying that law may have any content. The law is what is laid down and that is an end to it. It is directly contrary to NATURAL LAW theories, which tend to have some touchstone that a man-made law has to meet for its validity. Positivism faces serious problems in that it opens the way to the use of law as a means of social engineering. It is of value in giving up law's claims to protect higher values. The rule of law and constitutions are only as strong as the individuals working with them and the political realities of the society to which they apply. posse comitatus 'the power of the county'. The sheriff was able to call together able-bodied men to keep the peace. The institution transplanted to the USA, thence into ordinary parlance: 'round up a posse'. |
