Abstract

This study presents a new approach to the concept of law. Law here is not looked upon as merely an announced and applied reality that was established through a proper procedure and derived from the legitimate power. The question arises: who legitimates the ‘legitimate power’? In this study I would like to present the scheme of a definite answer, which originates in the communal existence of the individual.
