The Birth of the State and the Right: the Beginning for the Protection of Individual Rights

Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, human rights are a concept that every individual knows, understands and uses for its own benefit, requesting the state, through its institutions, to protect these rights. In the course of history the fundamental human rights have notbeen recognized and protected at all times, for the most part they are not taken into account, the sovereign’s rights to legislate and enforce the norms being the only rights allowed. With the emergence of the state, the issue of the individual rights was taken into consideration, by being recognized, in order to limit the absolute power of the state and its ruler. This limitation was achieved, basing on some concepts of the philosophy of law, through the legal norms, edited by the state, norms that are able of limiting its powers, in favour of the individual.
