Legal positivism is a school of thought of philosophy of law and jurisprudence, largely developed by nineteenth-century legal thinkers like Jeremy Bentham and John Austin. The principal claims of modern legal positivism are that:
There is not any inherent or necessary association between the validity conditions of law and ethics or morality.
Laws are rules made, whether deliberately or unintentionally, by human beings.
