Summary/Abstract: In general, there are two mainstreams in the legal doctrine and practice with regards to grounds of the legal normative system. First of them, let us call it legislative optimism, is based on an assumption that the law is based on the will of the lawmaker and is determinable from various lawmaker’s expressions or utterances.1 Taking the law from this point of view, we can say that the lawmaker is creating the law, while its recipients only interpret the meanings from the available normative utterances. From the methodological point of view, this approach to the law seems relatively simple, as the whole process of creation and perception of legal norms exists within one-sided informational channel originating at the lawmaker’s will.
