The Law: Security, Interpretation, and Social Control

Classified in Law & Jurisprudence

Written on in English with a size of 2.25 KB

It's important to distinguish between the legal method's inability to guarantee the construction of reality and the ability to rely on it regardless of methodological control. The legal system doesn't perfectly mirror legal reality, but it requires it as a means to capture it instrumentally, even if provisionally. This relates to the connection between law and right. Denying their complete identification, as legalism assumes, is different from dismissing the law's role. The law is already tasked with assessing the latent features of the right.

The debate within the political body initiates a process of interpretation, weighing the demands of freedom and equality present in parliamentary group programs. The result establishes a broad framework... Continue reading "The Law: Security, Interpretation, and Social Control" »

Locke's Political Philosophy

State of Nature

The state of nature is the condition in which humanity existed before forming societies and establishing collective ties.

War and Peace

In the state of nature, there are no judges or positive laws to regulate behavior. Instead, natural law governs human conduct. Peace exists when force is not used without right, while war is a state of enmity and destruction. War can occur in both the state of nature and civil society, but it is not a necessity.

Natural Law

Natural law consists of certain rules of nature that govern human behavior and can be discovered through reason. Individuals are free to make rational decisions, and reason provides moral autonomy, making them independent of ecclesiastical authority....

Classified in Law & Jurisprudence

Written on in English with a size of 3.21 KB

Adoption of Treaty Text

The adoption of a treaty text involves setting the text, with states indicating that the text reflects their intent. For multilateral treaties, the text is voted upon and approved, which constitutes the authentication of the treaty. At this stage, a state is not yet obligated but cannot act to deprive the treaty of its effectiveness.

Signature of Treaties

Signature marks the close of the negotiation stage. Generally, signature itself does not create an immediate obligation for a state to be bound by the treaty. However, a distinction must be made:

  • Solemn Agreements: These require subsequent ratification for the treaty to become legally binding on the state.

Understanding the Evolution of Public Law

The Principle of Legality (Top Juridica)

  • Originates from the Constitution of 1833 (Art. 160).
  • It is the basis of the Chilean government.
  • Currently enshrined in Article 7 of the Constitution (CPR).

This principle establishes requirements for acts of public bodies. Public bodies must behave differently than private entities; their actions are more limited. Public bodies can only act if the law permits it.

The principle "under the Constitution or laws" means public bodies can only do what the Constitution or laws permit.

Differences between Public and Private Law:

  • Private Law: You can do everything that is not prohibited.
  • Public Law: You can do only what is permitted.
