Person and legal person

Abstract

This article is the product of a bibliographic review, the main objective was to analyze the concepts of person and legal person. We used the analysis method, with a qualitative approach, non-experimental design, at cross-sectional documentary-bibliographic level. After the documentary review we found that: Person is not equal to the individual, because the person is like law, is a product of culture and not of nature, in addition, the person is a normative concept. We conclude that the concept of person is the starting point of the entire legal-penal system, as well as that person is synonymous of freedom and the conceptualization must be given from the social and normative.
