Summary/Abstract: European modernity is based on a sum of shifts in the sphere of political-legal reflection, which subsequently projected themselves in the practice of civil government and in daily structures. Among these shifts, the philosophy of natural law stands out by dislocating the theological way of founding sovereignty and by laying the foundations of a rationalist and contractualist paradigm.
