The Force of Human Law
PREAMBLE

The Force of Human Law
We next have to consider the force
(potestas) of human law. On this topic
there are six questions: (1) Should human law
be formulated in a general way? (2) Should human
law restrain vices? (3) Should human law prescribe
acts of all the virtues? (4) Does human law impose
necessity on man with respect to his conscience?
(5) Are all men subject to human law? (6) Is it
permissible for those subject to the law to go beyond
the words of the law in their actions? |
