Justice Charles Evans Hughes Quote

“Law” has a broad nomenclature that divides into multiple political philosophies (including applications), many temporal images, diverse understandings, scores of mental aberrations, and an exponentially expanding difference of systems / exercises  / administrations. “Law, in its most general and comprehensive sense, law signifies a rule of action; and this term is applied indiscriminately to all kinds of action; whether animate or inanimate, rational or irrational.” (Bouvier’s Law Dictionary) Law's attributed source, helps define subsequent philosophical applications as well as the applied system of law and justice. – By example:

1.) “the laws of nature and of nature’s God” (Declaration of Independence {a limiting static recognition of natural law, subject nomenclature animating an umbrella of that which is eternal and absolute in nature} natural law – the intended jurisprudence of the de jure States united). Infinite and unwavering rules of nature are categorically understood through assessable proficiencies such as gravity, physics, math, ultimate science, life, liberty and property (an Iroquois Federation measure, the constitutional law of the land). The source is nature, beyond man’s capacity or potential to create - natural order / law (that which veraciously defines inalienable right and liberty).

2.) Legal Positivism; Legal Positivism is arbitrary, “An arbitrary law is one made by the legislator simply because he wills it, and is not founded in the nature of things;” (Bouvier’s Law Dictionary) – Legal Positivism is most often “used in opposition to natural law” (Bouvier’s Law Dictionary). The source is corporeal or carnal man’s intent and resolution to control.

3.) Legal Realism; Legal Realism is arbitrary and habitually time/situation fleeting, instituted by any source, at any time regardless of natural law or legal positivism (executive, judicial, personal, etc.). The source is corporeal or carnal man’s intent and resolution to control.

4.) etc.
