The sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation revolutionized not only theology and the Church, but also law and the state. Though divided into Lutheran, Anabaptist, Anglican, and Calvinist branches, the Reformation collectively broke the international rule of the medieval Church and its canon law, and permanently splintered Western Christendom into competing nations and regions. The Reformation also triggered a massive shift of power, property, and prerogative from the Church to the state. Protestant states now assumed new jurisdiction over numerous subjects and persons, and they gave new legal form to Protestant teachings. But these new Protestant laws also drew heavily on the medieval ius commune as well as on earlier biblical and Roman jurisprudence. This chapter analyses the new Protestant legal syntheses, with attention to the new laws of Church–state relations, religious and civil freedom, marriage and family law, education law, social welfare law, and accompanying changes in legal and political philosophy.

Smuggling of migrants, as a serious type of criminality, takes an important place in legal science and criminal legislation. This is due to the fact that actions creating the image of these criminal offences also cause numerous individual, family and societal consequences. Smuggling migrants, with all its consequences, attracts the attention not only of the state authorities, but also the wider public, and numerous researchers and scholars. Nevertheless, despite this fact, this phenomenon has not been studied thoroughly. There is a dire lack of such research in recent years, specifically because of the presence of such crimes in a relatively higher number. This circumstance, specifically the fact that in Kosovo, smuggling migrants is a frequent occurrence, made me engage in studying this type of criminality.The aim of this paper is to research on criminal offences of migrant smuggling in Kosovo, and especially their causes. The causes of these criminal offences may be of numerous natures, but the main causes may be sought in social and economic circumstances, and other conditions related to the unstable political setting, weaknesses in operations of justice authorities, lack of implementation of criminal legislation, etc.In researching the criminal offences of smuggling migrants, I have used the method of historical materialism, legal-dogmatic method, statistical method, complaint method and interviews, and the method of studying individual cases.In the case of addressing criminal offences of smuggling migrants, I have concluded that these offences represent a serious type of crime, thereby resulting in dire individual, family and societal consequences. They are found in all modern societies, including Kosovo.

Resumo: O presente artigo investiga a Base Nacional Comum Curricular- BNCC, a flexibilização do currículo e a ideia de protagonismo juvenil, expressa por meio da Reforma do Ensino Médio, implantada no ano de 2017. A Metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica de caráter qualitativo, tendo como referenciais os documentos que tratam sobre a reforma. Baseia suas reflexões no Materialismo Histórico Dialético, para o entendimento de elementos históricos e discursivos que permitam a compreensão de que a reforma está alinhada a um discurso neoliberal.  As incursões apontaram que o processo proposto pela reforma desresponsabiliza o Estado pela ampla formação da juventude e seus processos de escolarização, assumindo um discurso de que o protagonismo juvenil se caracteriza como a condução dos jovens sobre seus projetos de vida, sua inserção no mercado de trabalho e por sua conduta cidadã, tendo a BNCC como instrumento alinhador desta política de educação.Palavras-chave: Base Nacional Comum Curricular, Flexibilização Curricular, Protagonismo Juvenil.BNCC, CURRICULAR FLEXIBILIZATION AND YOUTH PROTAGONISM: CURRENT MOVEMENTS OF "CONSTRUCTION" OF BRAZILIAN HIGH SCHOOL, FROM LAW 13.415 / 2017Abstract: This paper investigates the National Common Curricular Base - BNCC, the flexibility of the curriculum, and the idea of youth protagonism, expressed through the High School Reform, implemented in the year 2017.

The article aims to analyze democratic management as a principle of the right to education in the State of Tocantins, in times of Pandemic Covid-19. The discussion aims to elucidate public policies aimed at quality educational services in the public network – covering urban and rural education – and the state system's actions to guarantee the right to education in the exercise of democracy. The research is based on dialectical historical materialism, having as reference the bibliographic and documental research and normative collection issued, mainly, by the Ministry of Education, National Council of Education, Tocantins State Government and State Council of Education and data from CONVIVA. With critical attention, it points out the non-existence of educational policies and the State Education System's commitment to the situation of educational crisis and especially to the right to education in terms of democratic management.
