The Question of Law

In pursuit of the question of law, Young Kim explores foundational political and moral concerns and develops a new normative theory of law. This theory of law may be stated as two principles, in lexical priority, as follows:

First Principle: One should obey those laws of legal-rational political authority that do not otherwise violate societal norms and customs.

Second Principle: Government should only enforce rules of human behavior of legitimate legal-rational political authority.
