[@billwilliamson1506]

An excellent summary of the same theories I’m studying in my philosophy of law class.

I thought this was going to be the origin of state-based legal law itself, talking about the first book/list of laws written by Hammurabi of Babylon, in modern day Iraq. Its actually from there that the term "An eye for an eye" comes from.

Justifying law without morality is what justified rebels & revolutionaries. People love chaos

[@jacobogutierrezsanchez]

I think positive law presuposses another norm from which they take to make it a law.

when did the 'job' of a lawyer become a job, as opposed to judges?

[@bethanienaylor]

Probably when legal jargon got too complicated for any lay person to understand...who knows?

City counsels? City Counsels and County Commissions and their courts, are members of the Executive Branch. Read Waller v. Florida and get back at me, when you and your kind, recover from those troubles.

There can be only one sovereign in a state. Municipal governments are either subdivisions of the executive branch of government or nullities. But there has been little case law affirming this constitutional guarantee. In fact, caselaw has actually gone the other way. Even going so far that it grants absolute judicial immunity to employees of the Executive Branch of state and federal governments. scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=14263041073818743117&q=waller+v+florida++&hl=en&as_sdt=2003

Though I know nothing about that state's governmental structure, Knick v. Township of Scott, Pennsylvania may provide an excellent example of going the other way and respecting the state's grant of dual sovereignty and or of legislative power and duties to the executive branch. Merely because these types of grants existed at the time of enactment does not nullify the people's stated goal. More importantly, we've long past the necessity to tolerate such tressonuos grants state legislative powers and duties. There is a difference between granting the executive branch the discretionary right to make factual determinations and the right to decide whether to act upon those facts within the statutory limits and granting the executive branch of government legislative powers to create laws where none existed, especially those which are not for statewide application. (Note: I am assuming a similar structure as Alabama's government, where municipal governments are doubtfully grants of independent sovereignty. And County commissions are not but some of thier powers and or authority may be similarly overreaching) This is the part where someone attempts to educate me on political subdivisions and how they are not separate sovereigns. Because I can not see nor understand the difference. Though I can see how county and municipal governments satisfy the republic form of government, requirement of the Constitution of the United States of America.

Really the whole idea of the law started in the Bible. John one of Jesus's best desiples said the law is to show the unlawfulness of man. If humans did what they were supposed to do all of the time we wouldn't need the law in the first place.
