Which one of the following is not a characteristic of classical natural law?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Classical natural law is regarded as moral in foundation, universal, permanent and immutable, so it holds that "Natural laws are dependent upon moral laws", that "Natural laws are universal" and that "Natural laws are permanent". The proposition that "Natural laws change according to the circumstances" contradicts that immutability and is not a characteristic of classical natural law.
