This theory is expressed through two principles, which are presented in lexical priority:\u003cbr\u003eFirst Principle: One should obey those laws of legal-rational political authority that do not otherwise violate societal norms and customs.\u003cbr\u003eSecond Principle: Government should only enforce rules of human behavior of legitimate legal-rational political authority.\u003cbr\u003eThis perspective recognizes the political nature of law, including the power to enforce rules. Consequently, the question of law is primarily viewed as a matter of obedience, examining when and how it is appropriate to comply with the law. Additionally, justice serves as the moral framework that shapes the articulation of legal rules. Law should serve the demands of justice, particularly the theory of justice as right actions, which is guided by moral concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 485g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 237 x 160 x 22 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781666938272\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Young Kim","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":47481966002426,"sku":"9781666938272","price":85.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1751651156576_book.jpg?v=1751752313","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-question-of-law-9781666938272","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
