Show the answer
8
Why
Eight: generality, publicity, non-retroactivity, clarity, non-contradiction, possibility of compliance, constancy over time, and congruence between the declared rule and official action. Fuller's claim is that they are not moral extras but conditions of the enterprise: a system failing all eight is not a wicked legal system but not a legal system.
