| Sumario: | In the article "HOW PRACTICES MAKE PRINCIPLES AND HOW PRINCIPLES MAKE RULES" by Mitchell N. Berman, published in the Journal of Ethics & Social Philosophy, the author introduces the theory of "principled positivism" to explain how legal norms are determined by actions, mental states, and moral notions. The article challenges traditional legal theories by arguing that they may not fully account for the existence of legal principles and the operation of legal rules. By examining US Supreme Court cases, the text explores the relationship between legal principles and rules, emphasizing the importance of understanding how principles shape legal outcomes and influence judicial decision-making.
