Abstract
Even if it happens that among legal positivist theories some authors admit sometimes that, at a political or moral level, there may be a problem with unjust laws, and thus it may emerge the chance of disobedience (although, in order to admit that, it has to be an already very wise legal positivism), in this theoretical hemisphere the waters are much more placid. Even if, of course, there are in all aspects some authors who intend to make easy things complicated, and the latter a real hell of difficulties.
