Double negative elimination

In logic and the propositional calculus, double negative elimination is a rule that states that double negatives can be removed from a proposition without changing its meaning:

It's not the case that it's not raining.

means the same as:

It's raining.

Formally:

   ¬ ¬ A
   ∴ A

Also:

   ¬ ¬ ¬ A
   ∴ ¬ A

The rule of double negative introduction[?] states the converse, that double negatives can be added without changing the meaning of a proposition.

This rule is true in classical logic, but in intuitionistic logic, the statement, It's not the case that it's not raining. is weaker than It's raining.. As a more clearer example, It's not unreasonable is slightly less direct than It's reasonable.
