Austin's most significant contribution was to make a clear distinction between 'positive law' (laws decreed by the sovereign or government) and moral principles (which he terms the 'law of God'). In so doing he defined the field of inquiry for later students. This work of Austin is suitable for discussions of jurisprudence.
