    1 Answer

    The legal theory that laws should be made by a sovereign, and that by its definition law is the command of a sovereign, no one/thing else. The main exponant of the theory is Austin, although as a theory the imperative theory of law has been widely discredited, most notably by Hart. See article linked to below for further information:
