affirmative statute

Read a random definition: patruus magnus

A quick definition of affirmative statute:

An affirmative statute is a law that requires something to be done. It directs people to take action. It is different from a negative statute, which forbids something. There are many different types of statutes, such as criminal statutes that define crimes and their punishments, and directory statutes that indicate what should be done but do not provide for enforcement. Some statutes are temporary and only last for a fixed period, while others are permanent and have no provision for repeal or expiration.

A more thorough explanation:

An affirmative statute is a law that requires a specific action to be taken. It directs the doing of an act. For example, a law that requires all businesses to provide a minimum wage to their employees is an affirmative statute.

Another example of an affirmative statute is a law that requires all drivers to wear seat belts while driving. This law directs drivers to take a specific action to ensure their safety while on the road.

Overall, an affirmative statute is a law that mandates a particular action to be taken, rather than simply prohibiting certain actions.
