What was Rouls problem and why was it unique?
Answers
It goes without saying that making rules is a complicated process. Just how complicated is illustrated by the American legal theorist Professor Lon Fuller. In his book The Morality of Law, which was first published in 1964, he explored the relationship between law and morality, and the criteria by which we should evaluate a legal system (one form of a system of rules). In the passage you are going to read in Activity 2, Fuller tells the story of a fictional law-maker, Rex, who comes to the throne determined to make laws (rules) which will be effective and accepted by the society he governs. The purpose of this activity is to provide you with an opportunity to read a passage, understand it and answer some questions so as to help you better understand some of the difficulties involved in making rules.
