Summary/Abstract: This study is an attempt to demonstrate, based on the works of the renowned theoretician, Hans Kelsen, that the explanations provided by the various schools of thought cannot exclude one another, that they cannot provide satisfying answers and that, unfortunately, however elaborate a global vision of law may be, it cannot provide a definitive answer. Particularly, it will also be an attempt to discover the significance and the theoretical consequences of a fundamental notion in Kelsen’s work – grundnorm.
