Public Law

From the moment that a rule of law protects an individual interest, that protection is already a collective interest. Public Law is a set of legal provisions for the protection and defence of human and compliance with the general interests of the community. Public law is the part of law governing relations between individuals and private entities with bodies that wield public power when the latter acting in the exercise of their legitimate power of government (judicial, administrative, according to the nature of the court that exercises) and in accordance with legally established procedure, and the organs of public administration together. The characteristic of public law, as noted by the prestigious legal author Julio Rivera, is that their mandates are not subject to the autonomy that the parties could exercise (i.e. 'no' can be modified by the parties to use legitimate autonomy of the will, as it does in the Private Law ). Mandates are "irrevocable and binding" (Integration and the State 1994 7) by virtue of being sent in a relationship of subordination by the Country (in the legitimate exercise of its principle of Empire). The rationale is that regulates rights to make public policy and should be obeyed by the whole population.

Today, in many democracies, the right to vote is guaranteed as a birthright without distinction of race, ethnicity, class, or gender. Without any disqualifying consideration (such as non- literacy), citizens above the age requirement in a country can normally vote in elections. Foreign residents can vote in local elections in some countries. Suffrage is the right political and constitutional to vote for public office. In a broad sense, the franchise covers the assets, where it determines who is entitled to exercise the vote (most common), and the person who referred who and where conditions are right to be elected. Historically, many groups have been denied the right to vote for various reasons: sometimes because its members were "subjects" of kings, feudal and are not considered "free" men, sometimes because the exclusion of the vote depended on a policy clearly stated explicitly in the electoral laws. In some cases the right to vote to exclude groups that do not meet certain conditions (exclusion of illiterates, poll taxes, etc...). At other times has been denied, a group has been allowed to vote but the electoral system or the institutions of government were designed on purpose to give them less influence than more advantaged groups. It is generally held that the political legitimacy of a government democratic mainly derived from the suffrage. Despite the momentum of universal suffrage, all modern democracies require a minimum age voters to exercise this right. Young people below the voting age are between 20 and 50% of the population in some countries, and have no political representation. The minimum voting age are not uniform worldwide, and fluctuate depending on the country (and even each region within a country), usually 18.
