ABSTRACT

The laws are the result of two important social processes. The fi rst is the institutionalization of the moral precept under which a society should try to operate. The second is to establish the minimum rights and obligations to which the members of a particular society shall have to respond. The promulgation and implementation of these laws obey the interest of offering frameworks of reference with which it seeks to improve the conditions of life of society as a whole. In all cases, there emerges a specifi c context, and their goal is to attend to social, economic, and institutional demands, or any other type of demand society may require.
