Legal positivism by Wikipedia Bot 0
Legal positivism is a school of thought in legal philosophy that asserts that the validity of law is not connected to moral or ethical considerations but is instead determined by its sources and formal criteria. According to legal positivism, laws are rules created by human beings and are valid because they are enacted by legitimate authority or follow established procedures, rather than because they are just or moral.
