Spanish Legal System: Sources, Norms, and Constitutional Interpretation
Item 10 -> The Sources of Law: They are social forces capable of creating legal norms. The Ordinances are a set of legal rules or standards of production. All legal norms are located within a legal system. A legal system is a set of systems that claim to be consistent (cannot contain contradictions, and if you have a contradiction, the system itself provides formulas that solve it, e.g., a posterior standard supersedes the higher standard, which supersedes the lower). It also ensures plenitude (the legal system should contain all the possible scenarios one can really give a question that always exists for each case) and conflict resolution. The Constitution as a Source of Sources: To determine the validity of a legal norm, one must know what position it occupies within the system. Moreover, all legal norms must have a set upper source, which is the competent body to dictate (to whom), the procedure established for it (acts), and the specific matter being regulated (education or matter). The Constitution must contain a way to produce the legal norms (substance). In this way, before there is any rule of law, the basic question is whether other legal norms along the hierarchy lead to the Constitution. In short, there are questions to determine whether they have been given by the subject entitled and have followed the requirements of the Constitution.
