The article discusses Léon Duguit’s concept of property as a social function. The solidarist theory of law and the state of French jurist Léon Duguit can be divided into a theoretical (general) part, i.e. the theory of the legal rule and the concept of the state providing public services, and a practical (specific) part, i.e. the institution of property as a social function. Léon Duguit’s concepts were very much related to the great questions of the era in which they were created. This was especially true of the new view of property as a social function, which, according to Duguit, would respond to the needs of a dynamically changing in XIX century French society, for which the legal framework set by the French Revolution and the Civil Code of 1804
was no longer sufficient.
