Who has described an 'internal morality' of law ?

  • A.Lon Fuller
  • B.John Finnis
  • C.John Rawls
  • D.H.L.A. Hart

Answer: A

The 'internal morality' of law was described by Lon Fuller.

In The Morality of Law (1964), Fuller argued that a legal system must meet eight procedural requirements to count as law at all: rules must be general, promulgated, prospective, clear, non-contradictory, possible to obey, reasonably stable, and applied as announced. He called these the 'inner morality of law'.

John Finnis is the modern natural law theorist of basic goods, John Rawls wrote on justice as fairness, and H.L.A. Hart, Fuller's positivist opponent in the famous Hart-Fuller debate, argued that these principles are efficiency rules that even an evil system could follow.
