Natural law theory argues that the validity of the law is necessarily rooted in morality that is, that law must be related to conceptions of justice and the common good in order to be considered law. (Aquinas conception of the common good is linked to his theology, but conceptions of the common good can also be derived from morality.)
Legal positivism denies that there is a necessary connection between morality and the validity of law.
Which theory is right and why does it matter? (Good papers will discuss the role of reason in Aquinas and especially Harts positivism.)
Good answers will clearly state what each theory/argument entails.
I prefer that you not use outside sources, but, if you do, cite them parenthetically. Also, the work cited page should be the 4th page while the paper is 3 pages. Total page number will be 4 including work cited.
The paper demonstrates that the writer fully understands and has applied concepts learned in the course. Course concepts are combined with the writers own insights. The writer provides concluding remarks that show analysis and synthesis
The paper is focused such that the steps of the argument are laid out in each paragraph. A thesis statement provides direction for the paper, either by statement of a position or hypothesis.
