Positive Theory of Law

The word positive can be taken to be an offshoot of or closely related to the word ‘posit.’

And in simple parlance, posit means ‘to place’ or ‘to put’.

Hence, making a good use of the knowledge of relating ideas we can say:

"Positive Law is that which is put or placed on the people by an authoritative ruler, or a body of rulers.”

The main principle of positive law, and one of the reasons why it is different from the natural law theory, is that we place it on something or somebody, while the latter is innate and inherent.

Another name for The positive theory of Law is Legal Positivism.

Here and in subsequent posts (replies) are some explanations on certain theories of law. Let's delve in.

Natural Theory of Law

Natural law is a school of thought affirming that certain rights are inherent by virtue of human nature. Endorsed by nature, traditionally by God or a transcendent source. And that we can explain this universally through human reason.

Simply, Natural Law theorists or proponents, unlike promulgators of positive theory of law, believe that we define human laws by morality, and not by an authority figure. Therefore, their human nature guide humans to figure out what their laws should be, and to act in conformity with those laws.

Professor Okuniga said in his own illustration. “If ten men from different countries are put in separate rooms, and each of them is asked in the language that he understands, whether it is good tom steal, majority will say no.”

Natural law refers to the principles inherent to man, which tells him what is fair, good, impartial, right and just.

According to The Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary -9th edition.

“Law is the whole system of rules that everyone in a country or society must obey.”

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary.

“Law is a binding custom or practice of a community. A rule of conduct or action prescribed or formally recognized as binding or enforced by a controlling authority. The whole body of such customs, practices, or rules, and the control brought about by the existence or enforcement of such law.”

Also, according to Abiola Sanni, in ‘Introduction to Nigerian Legal Method’.

Law is, “a rule or body of rules made by institutions, bodies, and persons vested with the power to make such rules which are binding and enforced among the members of a given state or society.”

Taking a close look at the timeline of political development in our beloved nation Nigeria, it is indispensable to take a worthy notice of the tenacity, persistency, insistent drive, doggedness and obstinacy displayed beyond borders by our patriotic nationalists. Persons who, through the insight of their mind and acumen of their soul, found the possibility of what was yet unknown among us.

And we do know that they did win, for hitherto, the ideologies of their personalities resound in the system we operate. The characteristics of these Nigerians in fact, and nothing more pretentious, are what portray the ideal tool of governance.

What is Gender? Many an argument persists for lack of clearly defined linguistic inferences. To this end, here we go. Gender is derived from the Middle English word “gendre”, from Middle French “genre”, and from Latin “genus”. The word means “kind”, “type”, or “sort”. Gender is the range of characteristics pertaining to, and differentiating between, masculinity and femininity.

I do not think words that are linked-built to lead to another website like 'How to answer examination questions fast: Increase reading speed' (or correspondence), when fairly used, should constitute an offense. In actual fact, that was a link to a post on my website, serving a purpose here, isn't it?

An admin should give us their take on this issue. But until then, here we go ...
