Abstract
Near the end of his life, Hans Kelsen did away with the conception of the Basic Norm which he had defended so vigorously throughout his career and formulated a new version which was less well suited to his objective of demonstrating that law is genuinely scientific. Why did he do this? This short essay suggests an answer: that his final version of the Basic Norm followed logically from his understanding of how legal norms connect with human volition.
