Many authors have proposed that grounding is closely related to metaphysical laws. However, we argue that no existing theory of metaphysical laws is sufficiently general. In this paper, we develop a general theory of grounding laws, proposing that they are generative relations between pluralities of propositions and propositions. We develop the account in an essentialist language; this allows us to state precisely the sense in which grounding might be reduced to laws. We then put the theory to use in showing how moral laws can play a role in grounding particular moral facts, in defending monism about ground, and in showing in what sense there is no gap between the grounds and the grounded. Finally, we make a novel proposal about what grounds facts about ground.

许多作者提出，扎根与形而上学定律密切相关。然而，我们认为现有的形而上学定律理论都不够普遍。在本文中，我们发展了基础定律的一般理论，提出它们是多个命题和命题之间的生成关系。我们用本质主义语言开发账户；这使我们能够准确地阐明接地可能被简化为法律的含义。然后，我们运用该理论来展示道德法则如何在奠定特定道德事实的基础上发挥作用，捍卫关于基础的一元论，以及表明在何种意义上基础与基础之间没有差距。最后，我们提出了关于地面事实的依据的新颖建议。
