Positive law
Positive law, as used in opposition to natural law, may be considered in a threefold point of view. 1.) The universal voluntary law, or those rules which are presumed to be law, by the uniform practice of nations in general, and by the manifest utility of the rules themselves. 2.) The customary law, or that which, from motives of convenience, has, by tacit, but implied agreement, prevailed, not generally indeed among all nations, nor with so permanent a utility as to become a portion of the universal voluntary law, but enough to have acquired a prescriptive obligation among certain states so situated as to be mutually benefited by it. 3) The conventional law, or that which is agreed between particular states by express treaty, a law binding on the parties among whom such treaties are in force.
