Understanding Article 1 of the Civil Code

Overview of Capacity in Civil Law

  • The lesson focuses on Article 1 of the Civil Code, emphasizing the concept of capacity regarding rights and duties in civil law.
  • It is explained that every person is capable of acquiring rights and duties; for instance, a child can receive property through inheritance or donation, thus gaining ownership and responsibilities like paying property taxes (IPTU).
  • The speaker clarifies that while a child may acquire rights, they are not obligated to exercise them due to their age. This highlights the distinction between having rights and being able to act upon them.

Distinction Between Capacity of Rights and Capacity of Exercise

  • The discussion differentiates between "capacity of rights" (the ability to hold rights) versus "capacity of exercise" (the ability to act on those rights). Article 1 refers specifically to capacity of rights.
  • An example is provided where an adult over 18 years old has both capacity of rights and capacity to exercise those rights fully, indicating a complete legal capability.
