Sources of law
text:
Sources of law are the origins of laws, the binding rules that enable any state to govern its territory. The terminology was already used in Rome by Cicero as a metaphor referring to the "fountain" of law. Technically, anything that can create, change, or cancel any right or law is considered a source of law. The term "source of law" may sometimes refer to the sovereign or to the seat of power from which the law derives its validity. Legal theory usually classifies them into formal and material
