A law is a word employed in three different
senses, which require to be distinguished: — but
in each of them it imports that the will to which
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
a portion of a command; — and the matter of
the command may be to an indefinite extent
voluminous containing laws of the first mentioned
sort in any matter number: in this sense it has for its
synonym the word enactment: — call the law
in this sense a fractional or incomplete law.
In the third sense, it designates the aggregate
body of the enactive paragraphs to which it
happens to have received the token of their being
expressive of the will of the person or persons invested
with the supreme authority, in the political state,
or of some person who acts in this behalf under
and by virtue of that same authority.
