Excerpt from The General Principles of the Law of Contract in the Form of Rules: For the Use of Students

Positive law, in a collective sense, is the to tality of the rules of action which are enforce able by public authority.

Positive law may be (1) international, or (2) national or state.

The element of compulsion to obedience through the public force distinguishes the positive law from all others enumerated by jurists or moralists. International law, therefore, may be considered as positive law, inasmuch as its ultimate support is an appeal to arms. And although the appeal to arms may not be resorted to in every case, yet the fear Of incurring general hostility operates upon nations, keeping them within the rules of national comity.
