It is certainly relevant to describe Harts theory.On the subject of structure, you need to:i) Describe Harts theoryii) Describe Dworkins theoryiii) Address the question of the extent to which Dworkins theory really undermines Harts (this is relevant to the part of the question that asks whether Dworkins theory provides a genuine alternative to positivism). Many defenders of Hart claim that Harts theory can, so to speak, absorb Dworkins criticisms without being undermined. (What this really comes down to is that defenders of Hart say that principles can be incorporated in a system of primary and secondary rules with a rule of recognition. Dworkin, however, claims that principles cant be so incorporated.)iv) Address what Dworkin says, or would say, in reply to the defenders of Hart who say that Harts theory can absorb his criticisms. This is where the arguments of the Model of Rules II become relevant. In performing these tasks you may find especially helpful in addition to Harts and Dworkins own writings the essay by Shapiro called The Hart-Dworkin Debate: a Short Guide for the Perplexed. This gives a useful overview of the debate. The one warning I would give is not to accept everything Shapiro says uncritically. The most impressive thing you could do, in a way, would be to disagree with some aspect of Shapiros account of the debate.
