The contact of the law, understood as a system of rules of conduct, principles, and maybe values with the environment, is possible only through a man.

The direct environment of the system of law is a man who by its action, especially in political institutions, forms the law and in the long run directly regulates its action only. The position of a man as the only direct addressee of legal norms causes that from the view of law it is usually a means, not the purpose. It is one of the structural reasons of alienation of the system of law to the man.
