WEAKNESSES OF THE THEORIES OF POLITICAL OBLIGATIONS (DUTY TO OBEY THE LAW) FOUNDED A SINGLE PRINCIPLE

Abstract

This research is about the weaknesses of theories of political obligations (duty to obey the law) based on a single principle. In the history of political thought several proposed grounds of the duty to obey the law were developed, among them: the gratitude, consent and associative duties. We intend to demonstrate that the three proposals mentioned are unable to answer some problems associated with the issue and therefore do not constitute theories as satisfying the political obligations. The following argumentative trajectory: a) first, we highlight the main arguments in favor of the principles, cited respectively, and b) subsequently lists the limits of each. Emphasize the shortcomings indicate a need for a proposal multiprincipial that this will not be worked.
