The reservations are obvious and they hinge upon two important facts. First, the State is not society nor is it regarded as sui generis, one of its kind. It is one like many other associations which compose society no doubt, and it is the result of human endeavours and aspirations. Its purpose is to uplift man and men. This gives to the State an independent status and an eminent position in order to enable it to perform efficiently its functions of social regulation and adjustment. The authority of the State is, therefore, accepted and respected by all individuals and associations within it for what it does, that is, its services. Once this truth is realized, the second fact flows from it. Since the State is not the engine of power but service, the laws it makes are regulatory in nature rather than imperative in character. If the State continues to exist for the good life of man, naturally, it follows that "the test of a good law is whether it subserves the social purpose or not and whether it commands the willing allegiance of those whose interests it is made to promote." The Sociological jurists even believe that law is anterior and superior to the State. This belief directly challenges the assertion that the State makes law or law is what the sovereign wills. They uphold the sovereignty of law.
