According to different standards, legal norms can be divided into different types.
(a) according to the different behavior patterns of legal norms, they can be divided into authorized norms, mandatory norms and prohibitive norms.
1, authorization specification
Authoritative norms are legal norms that stipulate that people can or cannot do certain behaviors and can ask others to do or not do certain behaviors.
2. Mandatory norms
Mandatory norms are legal norms that stipulate that people must take the initiative to do something.
3. Prohibitive norms
Prohibitive norms are legal norms that prohibit people from doing certain behaviors or not doing certain behaviors. Prohibitive norms can also be said to be mandatory norms. The difference between prohibitive norms and mandatory norms is that mandatory norms are set as obligations, while prohibitive norms are set as obligations of omission.
(two) according to the mandatory degree of legal norms, it can be divided into mandatory norms and arbitrary norms.
1, mandatory specification
Mandatory norms refer to legal norms whose rights and obligations are very clear and definite and cannot be changed or violated in any way. Mandatory norms are manifested in two forms: mandatory norms and prohibitive norms, or most of them belong to mandatory norms.
2. Arbitrary norms
Arbitrary norms refer to legal norms that allow participants in legal relations to determine their rights and obligations within a certain range.
(three) according to the degree of certainty of legal norms, it can be divided into deterministic norms, entrusted norms and applicable norms.
1, deterministic specification
Deterministic norms refer to legal norms that directly and clearly stipulate the content of rules of conduct, and there is no need to cite other legal norms for supplement or explanation when applying them. Most legal norms are deterministic norms.
2. Appointment norms
Appointment norms refer to the legal norms authorized by a specialized agency, rather than clearly defining the content of the rules of conduct.
3. Applicability specification
Applicability norms do not specify the content of rules of conduct, but clearly point out that other rules can be invoked to make the content of this rule clear.
