Give one criticism of the Pure Theory of Law.

Kelsen accepted indirectly morality as a part of the law's effectiveness. 

Kelsen attempted to change the law into a science, a theory that could be understood through logic, but on the other hand, he emphasized the validity of the grundnorm to “assumed”, rather than based on some “logic”.
