Affirmative
|
|
AffirmativeAverring a fact to be true; that which is opposed to negative.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Fact
An action; a thing done. It is either simple or compound.
Negative
This word has several significations: 1) It is used in contradistinction to giving assent; thus we say the president has put his negative upon such a bill. 2. It is also used in contradistinction to affirmative; as, a negative does not always admit of the simple and direct proof of which an affirmative is capable. When a party affirms a negative in his pleadings, and without the establishment of which, by evidence, he cannot recover or defend himself, the burden of the proof lies upon him, and he must prove the negative.
