法律效力理论中的实效性原则

法律拥有效力部分地依赖于其所在的法律体系具有实效,即得到人们大体上的服从。这就是法律效力理论中的实效性原则。对于各种类型的法律效力理论来说,法律效力标准都需要来自法律本质、功能的道德原则的支持。表面上,作为纯粹事实的实效似乎与各种类型的法律效力理论都不协调,但实质上,法律效力依赖于实效是源于"法律的任务应该交给最具实力的人或机构来完成"这一道德原则。根据该原则,实效难题可以得到很好的解决。

Principle of Efficacy in the Theory of Legal Validity

Validity of laws partly depends on the efficacy of the legal system therein, i.e. laws in the legal system are obeyed by most people in the society. This is the principle of efficacy. With regard to different theories of legal validity, the criteria of legal validity should always be supported by moral principles which stem from arguments about nature of law or function of law. By appearance, the efficacy of legal system as pure facts contradicts with all theories of legal validity. But in effect, the validity of law originates from the moral principle that ＂the task of law should be fulfilled by the most competent people or organizations＂, so that the predicament of legal validity can be better resolved.
