Laws containing two provisions may conflict with
themselves in exactly the same way as two laws may
conflict. The following will serve as an illustration.
“The bastard born before a legitimate son shall rank
as legitimate, the bastard born after the legitimate
son shall only rank as a citizen.”1 All that I have
said about laws will also apply to decrees of the
senate. If decrees of the senate conflict with one
another or with the laws, the basis will be the same
as if laws only were concerned.
1 See III. vi. 96.
