""The Sanctity of Law: Wherein Does It Consist?"" is a book written by John W. Burgess that delves into the concept of law and its fundamental principles. The book explores the question of what makes law sacred and explores the different aspects of law that contribute to its sanctity. Burgess examines the role of law in society, its relationship with morality and justice, and the ways in which it is enforced. The book also looks at the history of law, including its origins and evolution over time. Through his analysis, Burgess argues that the sanctity of law is rooted in its ability to promote order, justice, and the common good. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the philosophy of law and the principles that underlie legal systems around the world.1927.
