Question 97 — Of Change in Laws

We must now consider change in laws: under which head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether human law is changeable?

  • (2) Whether it should be always changed, whenever anything better occurs?
  • (3) Whether it is abolished by custom, and whether custom obtains the force of law?
  • (4) Whether the application of human law should be changed by dispensation of those in authority?
