Which of the following is not part of main tenets of Savigny's theory of Law?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Savigny's Volksgeist theory holds that law arises from and reflects the unconscious, organic growth of a people's common consciousness, developing like their language, which covers "Law is based on people's consciousness", "Law develops like language" and "Popular spirit of the people reflected in 'Volksgeist'". The claim "Law has conscious organic growth" contradicts his central idea that the growth is unconscious, so it is not one of his tenets.
