Studies on natural law carrying the more moderate spirit of the Enlightenment promoted the establishment of civil society, humanity, and equity, and by the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, created a synthesis of the views of Pufendorf, Leibniz, Thomasius, Wolff, and Kant, which reflected the state and legal systems. Although the sovereignty of the state and the nature of its maxima societas remains unquestionable, governance can be subject to criticism. Executive power can only be exercised under the law, and if not, citizens may use various means of their right to resistance, observing the principle of gradation and proportionality. This study demonstrates the applicability of these tools to the interpretation of natural law in the 19th century.
