Reflections on the Relation between Individual, Society and State
Reflections on the Relation between Individual, Society and State

Summary/Abstract: Each human individual tends to live with the others, forming a society within which they achieved excellence through its various institutions. Once socialized, people begin to interact with each other, thus giving rise to legal relations, society being seen as the sum of interactions between individuals that compose it. Starting from the inside of each individual, which is a system of values, this system extends to the whole of society, which is the sum of individuals in interaction with each other. All this life of society must be somehow regularized, this being the mission of the legal norm. The law, the amount of legal norms cannot develop independently but closely related to the realities of the external phenomena, as the economic, social, political, scientific factor. In each human community, the law was the strongest factor of governing and standardizing the relationships among individuals. The law is closely linked to the State from which it emerges and whose actions it regulates and gives them substance, configuring the status of law. An analysis of the totalitarian societies indicates the importance of the law and its full realization, by comparing these types of societies with the democratic ones, being able to establish the preeminent role that the rule of law held in a community. The most important factor of the law establishment is man and its legal sphere, where we find the fundamental individual rights. Respect, recognition, regulation and the guarantee of fundamental human rights are all imperatives of the State, the consequence being that to all the parts of the state will contribute to their defense.
