Abstract
         Legal security is one of the most important goals that legislators aim to achieve, as it is one of the foundations for establishing a state of law and is closely linked to the extent to which states can instill trust between themselves and their citizens. Achieving the concept of legal security is the ultimate goal of legislators. The concept of legal security has become expansive and influenced by the meanings of legal values. Consequently, contemporary legislation attempts to reconcile duties and freedoms, taking into account the various fundamentals of legal security to ensure respect for rights and freedoms. Jurisprudence defines the concept of legal security as any legal system that aims to protect and ensure (without surprise) the optimal implementation of obligations and reduce doubt in the application of the law. The manifestations of legal security are evident when legislators, when enacting legal rules, adhere to a set of principles and rules that enhance trust between the legislator and their society and foster the principle of legal security. It is inconceivable that a legal system exists that does not adhere to the principles and rules of justice. Legal security is an indispensable social necessity to preserve societal security and prevent the spread of chaos. Without it, the social system as a whole collapses, and the rights of individuals and groups are lost
