Abstract

The legal state is based on two pillars at the same time, namely the subordination of all public authorities to the law on the one hand and the non-denial of public rights and freedoms by the law on the other. Law-making finds its natural limit in recognizing the inalienable rights and freedoms of individuals. Perhaps the most important characteristic of the legal state is that administrative authorities cannot bind individuals to anything outside the scope of the laws in force, meaning that the state in order to be a non-police or authoritarian legal state, public rights and freedoms must be the natural restriction on its authority in the work of the law.
