Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

St. Thomas Aquinas believed that the only true laws were those that followed eternal law, which he believed was the divine law imposed by God. This eternal law was the ultimate source of all authority and was reflected in natural law, which could be discovered through reason. Therefore, reasoned law (A) is rooted in eternal law and is thus considered valid, but customary law (B) and localized law (D) lack the universality and objective nature of eternal law and are not considered valid according to Aquinas' thinking.
