How is Norma Jurídica enforced?

Norma Jurídica is enforced through legal institutions, such as the police and the judiciary, which ensure compliance and impose consequences for violations.

What does it mean for Norma Jurídica to be 'imperative'?

What is the difference between 'conduta' (behavior) and 'sanção' (sanction)?

Conduta refers to actions or omissions outlined in the law, which can be either positive (commissive) or negative (omissive). Sanção, on the other hand, refers to the legal consequences or punishment for violating the law, such as imprisonment or fines.

Can you explain the difference between a 'comissive' and an 'omissive' behavior?

Commissive behavior involves active actions, such as running a red light, while omissive behavior involves failure to act, like not providing assistance in an emergency when required.

What is the role of a 'sanção' (sanction) in the legal system?

A sanção serves as the punishment or consequence for someone who violates the law. This can include various forms of punishment, such as fines, imprisonment, or loss of position.

What is the difference between 'sanção' and 'coação' (coercion)?

Sanção is a punishment applied after someone breaks the law, while coação refers to the use of force to compel someone to follow the law or legal commands, often in situations where an individual resists compliance.

What is the distinction between principles and rules in the legal system?

Principles form the foundation of legal systems and provide general guidance. They are broad concepts that guide interpretation and application of laws. Rules, on the other hand, are specific laws that must be followed exactly and without exception.

How do principles and rules relate to each other in the legal system?

Principles and rules are closely related, as rules are built upon principles. A principle can exist without a specific rule, but a rule will always be grounded in a principle. Principles offer flexibility and can be applied in varying degrees, while rules are strict and definitive.

What happens when principles conflict with each other in legal cases?

When principles conflict, they do not cancel each other out. Instead, they coexist, and the conflict is resolved through a process of balancing or weighing the principles against each other in the context of the case.
