Why do people accept and obey laws? Professor Hadley Arkes explains that everyone has an innate sense of what is naturally wrong or right, as evidenced by everyday activities and judgments. People recognize that positive laws that are based on these natural law principles are worthy of respect and obedience.

Hadley Arkes is the Founder and Director of the James Wilson Institute on Natural Rights and the American Founding. He is Professor Emeritus of Jurisprudence at Amherst College. Professor Arkes is the author of several books and hundreds of articles.
