Law

Ley

The law is a legal norm dictated by the legislator, that is, a precept established by the competent authority, where something is ordered or prohibited in line with justice. Failure to do so entails a sanction. According to the Panamanian jurist Cesar Quintero, in his book Constitutional Law, the law is a "rule dictated by a public authority that orders, prohibits or permits all, and to which all must obey." On the other hand, the Venezuelan jurist Andrés Bello defined the law in Article 1 of the Civil Code of Chile as "A declaration of sovereign will, which manifested in the form prescribed by the Constitution, orders, prohibits or permits." Laws are delimiting the free will of people within society. It can be said that the law is the external control that exists for human behavior, in short, the norms that govern our social behavior. It is one of the sources of law, currently considered the main one, which, in order to be issued, requires a competent authority, that is, the legislating body. La ley es una norma jurídica dictada por el legislador, es decir, un precepto establecido por la autoridad competente, en que se manda o prohíbe algo en consonancia con la justicia. Su incumplimiento trae aparejada una sanción. Según el jurista panameño César Quintero, en su libro Derecho Constitucional, la ley es una "norma dictada por una autoridad pública que a todos ordena, prohíbe o permite, y a la cual todos deben obediencia." Por otro lado, el jurista venezolano Andrés Bello definió a la ley, en el artículo 1º del Código Civil de Chile como "Una declaración de la voluntad soberana, que manifestada en la forma prescrita por la Constitución, manda, prohíbe o permite". Las leyes son delimitadoras del libre albedrío de las personas dentro de la sociedad. Se puede decir que la ley es el control externo que existe para la conducta humana, en pocas palabras, las normas que rigen nuestra conducta social. Constituye una de las fuentes del Derecho, actualmente considerada como la principal, que para ser expedida, requiere de autoridad competente, es decir, el órgano legislador.
