Austinian Positivism

Austinian Positivism is a jurisprudential theory within legal positivism that identifies law as a system of commands issued by sovereign authority and enforced by sanctions, distinguishing itself from other positivist theories by its emphasis on the coercive nature of legal obligation and the separation of law as it is from law as it ought to be.
