What are examples of positive laws?
Positive law is the same thing as human law. So any type of law that is promulgated by the states/government is a positive law. For example, the speed limit is a positive law. Laws against murder are also positive laws, but they are based on the Natural Law. All positive laws should be based on the Natural Law, but they are not. The laws on abortion, for example, are contrary to the Natural Law; however, the laws on abortion are positive laws.

Natural law theory exaggerates the relation of law and morality. Positive law is a reaction against particularly that aspect of Natural law theory.
