El term jus It is the Latin word that refers to the Law objective, that is to say the standard (lex-ius-regula) and in the subjective sense the "facultas", understood as the power legal which specifically belongs to a sujeto right at a certain point; only that the conception The classic "facultas" is unexpectedly linked to the idea of actionThat is, as the power to go to court in lawsuit de Justice, so that there is no true "faculty" without its action respective, hence the right classic It presents itself more as a work of actions that derechos subjective. This situation changes when the general idea of a single action separate from subjective rights.
The Roman word ius is translated into Portuguese as “direito.”¹ The term diritto , however, does not derive from ius, but from directum , which is the term that gave rise to the translations of ius in modern languages, for example: derecho, droit, diritto, recht, right, etc. Ius, as the technical term for law, is a word of ancient origin and obscure etymology . It is also claimed that the word “derecho” (law) dates back to the first centuries of the Christian era .
Ius is a term from Roman law; its definition today can be equated to that of objective law: it refers to the set of rules and norms that make up a legal system.
Juventius Celsus the Younger, a Roman jurist who lived between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, defined ius or law as "the art of the good and the equitable" by stating, in Latin: " ius est ars boni et aequi ".
This statement is considered one of the fundamental dogmas of Roman law, as it contains some of its principles.
