Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study the Theory of the validity of Law: a logical analysis proposed by Robert Alexy framing to the Venezuelan Penal Code (2005), doing a study on the validity of the norms of a legal system, seen from a perspective moral, sociological and effective, based on the perspectives of authors such as Alexy (2013), Hart (2014), Kant (2020), Iturralde (2023), among others. On the other hand, this study is a documentary-type investigation, with a non-experimental design, and using legal hermeneutics as a data analysis technique. To achieve the objective, a traditional or narrative review was carried out that consisted of an exhaustive search and analysis of the literature on the topic, including both classic works and recent scientific articles, highlighting bibliometric research and systematic reviews as categories of research. documentary, with its own explicit methods and whose current trend is, mainly, searching online or in academic databases present on 2.0 platforms, without excluding the possibility of analyzing printed documents not digitized to date, as is still done in some disciplines of the social sciences. This is how not everything is written about this ancient figure, since they are decantations that the doctrine elaborates from the inductive examination of the different penal institutions, sometimes expanded and consolidated by comparative criminal law.
