Sure, roughly, it's the belief that law derives from the sovereign and not from some greater power.

Do you know who Blackstone was (besides being the foremost legal reference for our founding fathers)? What did he say about the origin of law?

Then throw the Constitution in the trash! That is the law of the land. If you can change it any way you want on a whim, then it isn't worth the paper it's printed on and no one's rights are secure.

Evidently, Cornell is just a liberal marxist paper mill like Hah-vahd or Beserkly.

Divine law, very roughly, is the belief that law comes from our Creator. Nice concept, but pretty much unworkable in the real world.

Then throw the Constitution in the trash! That is the law of the land. If you can change it any way you want on a whim, then it isn't worth the paper it's printed on and no one's rights are secure.

We the people can amend the constitution, even on a "whim."

Where'd you go to school. Bob Jones?
