Questions like these plague the great thinkers from antiquity to modern times; and it could not be otherwise, also afflicted responsible for the foundation of the legal discipline Theory of the State - Georg Jellinek. Faced with these problems, this article aims to analyze the justification of the State according to the doctrine of Jellinek, specifically through his work "Allgemeine Staatslehre" - General Theory of the State, 1900.
