Primes¶
- No One Is Above the Rules
- In Kelsen's (1934) hierarchical theory of legal norms, every concrete directive — including those issued to delegated agents — derives validity from a higher-order norm that itself binds the issuing authority; an enforcement scheme that exempts the highest tier breaks the very chain of authorization on which the lower-tier rules depend.
This sourceFranz Deuticke. Develops the hierarchical (Stufenbau) theory of legal norms: every valid legal directive derives its authority from a higher-order norm, terminating in a presupposed Grundnorm; constitutional supremacy and the binding of rule-issuers by their own enabling rules follow as structural consequences.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
