Principles of Public Law

Public law, which is one of the two main branches of the knowledge of the law, in a general definition refers to a set of legal rules and norms that govern the relationship between government and people and in the meantime secure the public interest. The main mission of this branch of jurisprudence is to create a harmony between public authority and individual rights and freedoms, and the institution that has the most important responsibility in achieving this goal is the government. The government, which is the main pillar of public law, has different objectives and functions, and the evolution of its functions in the contemporary era necessitates its structural evolution by relying on its three main pillars (population, territory, and government). Relying on this vital role of the state, another area of public law discusses the fundamental rights and freedoms and the relationship between morality and social values and the sovereign status of the state in society and explains and examines its various dimensions.
