Discussion
Select the correct option based on the statements and conclusions given below in the context of Jurisprudence.
Statements:-
I. Jurisprudence in its widest sense means "knowledge of the law" but in its limited sense evolution and explanation of general principles upon which actual rules of law are based.
II. Ulpian a Roman Jurist defines jurisprudence as " the observation of things divine and human, the science of just and unjust."
Conclusions:-
I. John Austin divides jurisprudence into two classes.
II. According to John Chipman Gray " jurisprudence is the science of law, the statement and systematic arrangement of the rules followed by the Court and the principals involved in those rules", meaning that jurisprudence deals with only that kind of law which consists of rules enforced by courts while administering justice.
Answer: D
Neither conclusion follows. The statements talk about the meaning of jurisprudence in the widest and narrower senses and Ulpian's definition. Conclusion I, that John Austin divides jurisprudence into two classes, and Conclusion II, which gives John Chipman Gray's definition, introduce facts about two other jurists that the statements do not state or imply.
Each conclusion may be accurate as a matter of the history of jurisprudence, but a conclusion in this kind of question must be drawn from the statements, and these are not. The options saying that one or both follow are therefore wrong.
