The abolition of the legal order of the ancien régime and the creation of a liberal order neutralized the collective dimension of society by creating an abstraction from which the individual emerged. What was presented as a liberation from the feudal order was in reality a subjugation to a proprietary order that provoked an enormous violence on the individual. Stripped of differences, turned into an individual, he was subjected to the rules of the new economy. The entire juridical order thus reflected the aspirations of a new anthropology, that of the proprietary individual. Thus appeared a group of marginalized people (women, workers, rural elements) who tended to radicalization, being excluded from the representative institutions. The first social laws had that sense: to confront radicalization. It was only in the interwar period, with the reflection on the dignity of the person, that the social dimension of law began to be recovered. This itinerary was also reflected in the teaching of law and in the emergence of academic disciplines, such as labor law.
