The welfare state emerged after the medieval Romancanonical culture had long since diversified among nations, each cultivating its own legal identity. In Germany, Leibniz’s concept of objective law, based on solidarity, which emanates from human communities and conditions the recognition of individual rights, had many inheritors. It contrasts with the British legal tradition, which, on the contrary, starts from the primary affirmation of individual rights in order to build institutions whose task is to reconcile them. The French social model does not fall into either of these two categories. The Jacobin conception of a people of citizens with no association other than the state had to contend with another intellectual tradition, also inspired by individualism, but which relies on the capacities for selforganization and mutual aid between individuals.
Keywords: Law history; Legal culture; Social justice; Social security; Solidarity; Welfare state.
