The rule of law modernized primitive societies


The rule of law can be termed as a kind of organization of the social life of a country that is subject to proceedings regulated by law in which the State acts are limited strictly by a supreme legal framework which are guided by the principle of legality and absolute respect for fundamental rights.

The state behavior can not be discretionary. State actions are subject to the Constitution framework which it must not ever exceed. Furthermore, these actions must be guided always by the principle of legality, whether formal or substantial.

The rule of law will allow public bodies (executive, legislative, judicial, electoral) are interdependent and coordinated representing the government of the people.

The organs of government are born from the people more or less directly. They act therefore on their behalf, under the rule of constitutional norms. The Government is cooperation and concurrence of those bodies identified through the legal standard.

It can be said that the rule of law arises because in primitive societies were very few rules, and those that were not emanate from the intellect but the mere use of force. The stronger, better armed, the most powerful or most fear instilled those living around it was imposing its rules, which depended solely on his will.
The rights of the weakest neither existed nor were recognized. The social model was based on two very basic concepts, fear and submission, being an almost a mere translation model of the coexistence of animals: the strongest of the herd imposes its law to others.


Over the centuries, the communities were perfecting their ways of living together, appearing in their habits and then emerging standards, merely oral principle. The rules went from being based on the force to be created by intelligence, pushing the functioning of human collective’s guidelines animal world. And at one point, it appeared the need to write and gather those standards of living, so that they could be published and known to all its members.

Therefore, whoever takes this roll must have a complete knowledge of the system and the principles ruling it, so, when he has to make a decision, he can have all the verifiable elements to do so.
