K otázce pozitivního a "nadpozitivního" práva

Summary/Abstract: The article by JUDr. Jan Spáčil discusses the relationship between positive law and natural law, focusing on the concept of "super-positive" law. It examines the dual nature of sovereignty in a democratic state, distinguishing between constituent power (pouvoir constituant) and constituted power (pouvoir constitué). The complexity of these issues lies in the intertwining of political and legal questions. The article critiques the views of various scholars, including Prof. V. Klokočka, who argues that positive law should be subordinate to natural law. Spáčil emphasizes the importance of integrating natural law principles into positive law through formal legal processes. He also highlights the role of legal practitioners in interpreting and applying these principles within the framework of existing legal norms. The discussion underscores the need for a balance between legality and legitimacy in the application of law.
