Section 330
Original German
330 B. Das äußere Staatsrecht.
Das äußere Staatsrecht geht von dem Verhältnisse selbstständiger Staaten aus; was an und für sich in demselben ist, erhält daher die Form des Sollens, weil, daß es wirklich ist, auf unterschiedenen souverainen Willen beruht.
Musean translation

330 B. External Constitutional Law.
External constitutional law proceeds from the relation of independent states; what is in and for itself in it therefore receives the form of the ought, because its being actual rests on distinct sovereign wills.
