Legal Positivism - ANS-1) KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT

to be valid it needs to be consistent with natural law based on lex injusta non est lex) from
analytical jurisprudence
Merit of the law is a different question from what law is. That is a question of what law ought to
be.
4) KNOW WHAT THE LAW IS : IDENTIFICATION THESIS (B/A)
Valid if it FULFILLS the description / DEFINITION of law. Do not question the validity on its
