What is the fundamental premise of monist theory?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Monism, developed by Kelsen in the "Pure Theory of Law", holds that international law and domestic law are parts of one single legal order. Which of them prevails in a conflict is a further question on which monists differ, so the supremacy of either system is not the basic premise, and monism does not assume that the two never clash.
