Hart-Dworkin Debate

The Hart-Dworkin debate centers on the nature of law and its interpretation. H.L.A Hart argued that laws are rules created by society and must be applied as written, emphasizing the importance of clear legal structures. Ronald Dworkin countered that laws also include moral principles, meaning judges should consider justice and fairness when interpreting them. This debate highlights differing views on whether law is strictly about rules or if it encompasses deeper ethical considerations, shaping how laws are applied and understood in society.
