Pedro Guillermo Altamira — Police and Police Power

Pedro Guillermo Altamira — Police and Police Power

This important Argentine work on administrative law examines the concepts of police activity and police power, essential institutions for understanding the State's authority to regulate individual rights in pursuit of the public interest. Altamira distinguishes administrative police functions from police power as a legislative authority aimed at imposing reasonable restrictions to protect public safety, health, morality and general welfare. The book studies the constitutional foundations, doctrinal development and practical applications of these powers within national, provincial and municipal government. It remains a classic reference for the study of Argentine public law and the legal limits placed upon individual freedoms.
