Changes in Human Law
PREAMBLE
Changes in Human Law
We next have to consider changes
in human law. On this topic there are four questions:
(1) Is human law changeable? (2) Should human
law always be changed when something better comes along?
(3) Is human law abolished by custom, and does custom
acquire the force of law? (4) Should the practice
of human law be changed by means of dispensations granted
by the rulers? |
