First sentence: In any discussion of "laws," those of us who are not legal philosophers or theologians usually refer to "positive laws"-those laws laid down and dictated by a group of people, for the governance of other people; but two other kinds of laws preoccupy the thinking of jurisprudential scholars and theologians-Divine laws and natural laws.
