senses, which require to be distinguished: — but

it gives expression either emanates from the
supreme authority in the State or has that same
authority for its support

In one sense it denotes an entire command,
the whole matter of a Command. — call this the
integral sense, and the sort of law, a Complete
law —

In the second sense it contains no more than

expressive of the will of the person or persons invested
with the supreme authority, in the political state,
