Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

The historical school, particularly Savigny, treats law as developing from a people's traditions, shared consciousness and established practices. The expression contrasts this organic development with the idea of arbitrarily constructing law solely through a lawgiver's will. It is conventionally associated with historical jurisprudence, not Austin's analytical command theory.
