    Solution

    The main difference between natural law and positive law is that natural law is based on moral principles, while positive law is created by human beings. Natural law theorists believe that there are certain moral principles that are universal and apply to all human beings, and that the law should reflect these principles. Positive law, on the other hand, is created by human beings through legislation and other legal processes.
