Which of the following is not the feature of Theory of Positivism ?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The claim that an unjust law is not law expresses a natural-law view linking legal status to moral justice. Legal positivism distinguishes the existence or validity of law from an assessment of its moral merit. The sovereign command and sanction descriptions in the other alternatives belong particularly to Austin’s version of positivism, rather than to every positivist theory.
