KELSONS
PURE THEORY OF LAWABSTRACT
A theory itself is an abstract idea that comes from a human mind. Theories
are made in order to govern or to guide a man to live their lives in a lawful
manner but these are not self alone able to run a legal system because there
is only one lawgiver who has the power to create laws for the humanity

NATURE OF THE THEORY:

Kelson is known for his most rigorous development in positive law. His theory
of pure law is based on logic. It has normative nature and is devoid of the
influence of other worldly knowledge especially of the social sciences.

GRUND NORM:
The norms are regulations setting forth how persons are to behave and positive
law is thus a normative order regulating human conduct in a specific manner.
The
Grundnorm
is not deduced from anything else but is assumed as an initialhypothesis.
Kelson has used this word for the basic norm. Kelsen recognized that the
Grundnorm
need not to be the same in every legal system but a
Grundnorm
of some kind is always present alegal system i.e. whether the written
constitution or the will of dictator.
NATURE OF GRUNDNORM AND ITS FUCNTIONS
Kelsen says that the ground norm is a legal norm which also provides legality
to othernorms because of its authoritative nature. Legality of the Grundnorm
enables the legal system to be accepted throughought the world
CONCLUSION:
In the light of above discussion it can be concluded that Hans Kelsen is failed to
develop such atheory which is totally free from the influence of other sciences
and his theory cannot beaccepted universally because of its limitation to a single
norm created by Hans Kelsen. Thetheory is highly insufficient for competing
international standards
