Summary/Abstract: Freedom is inseparable from the knowledge of the laws. This is an idea that the article seeks to develop, showing the development of legal concepts during the modern era. A decisive factor for knowing and complying with legal laws is the education level within a social space. Social inequalities can be reduced only through knowledge and recognition of the rights and liberties of every social subject. Punishment balances the presence of justice in the relations between citizens. In the Romanian medieval legal language stands a proper term, that of common law. It deserves clarification in order to be distinguished from the legal norm and to trace its presence in the collective mind.
