Lex animata : ウィキペディア英語版
Lex animata

Lex animata — the law animate — is a mediaeval Latin term for the law being embodied in a living entity, usually the sovereign by the grace of God. In that sense a king could be lex animata, a living, breathing law. This worked both ways, the argument went: the king was law, but he could not do but as the law instructed.〔Samuel Rutherford: Lex, Rex.〕
This idea is sometimes traced to king Charles I of England who said "Rex est lex" (() King is () Law), an idea moderated by his successor king James I of England as "A Deo rex, a rege lex", meaning that regal powers come from God, while legal powers derive from the king. These ideas were later deconstructed by Montesquieu and other constitutional thinkers of the Enlightenment.
== Modern usage ==
The idea of Lex animata is sometimes used in modern political debate, usually to scorn an opponent for being too self-important or delusional about his insights into the law and constitutional affairs.
In judicial circles it is sometimes used in jest, recognising a peer as an authority on the law in general.
