Normative Legal Systems
Normative legal systems are frameworks that establish rules and standards for behavior within a society. These systems guide individuals and institutions in determining what is considered acceptable or unacceptable conduct. They often include laws, regulations, and legal principles that are enforced by governmental authorities.
In a normative legal system, the focus is on the norms that govern behavior, which can vary between cultures and societies. Examples of normative legal systems include common law, civil law, and religious law. Each system has its own set of rules and procedures for resolving disputes and maintaining order.
