Sources of law

Home > Library > Miscellaneous > Wikipedia

Sources of law are the materials and processes out of which law is developed. The basic sources of law include the Constitution, statutes, and caselaw. The natural law theory argues that some rules objectively existing in the nature also are source of law, while legal positivism argues that only the rules made by sovereignty can be the sources of law.
