    Solution

    These are the laws set by political superiors as such or by men not acting as political superiors but acting in pursuance of legal rights conferred by political superiors. Only these laws are the proper subject matter of jurisprudence. Other laws are those laws which are not set by political superiors (set by persons who are not acting in the capacity or character of political superiors) or by men in pursuance of legal rights.
