THE RULE OF LAW AND THE LEGAL SYSTEM IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY

ABSTRACT. The construction of the legal person relies on the notion of a separate, autonomous and rational being who approximates a man capable of employing rights aggressively and assertively and in ways that follow rules. A lack of legal character on the part of the fundamental substantive norms of a legal system entails a lack of legal character on the part of all norms typical of the system.
