Concept in Definition ABC

The word exception is used to designate everything that makes a difference within a group, which is not equal to the rest but is recognizable for being different or unequal. The exception is always possible or exists whenever we talk about a group of elements, situations or characteristics that strengthen ties and traits in common that, at the same time, they differentiate them from something in particular that acts as different or diverse. The exception can be understood in a way abstract or in a concrete way, visible in the practice.

The exception may be something that differs within something specific, for example, when there are ten green apples in an apple bin and one red. The red apple would come to occupy the place of exception since it acts as what is different or what is not equal to all the rest. We can also speak of exception in terms of abstract issues, for example, when we say that a person's behavior throughout the day is an exception to his or her behavior. conduct normal since it normally acts differently.

Leaving a little of these examples, we must mark that the term exception is also widely used in the politics and in the social sphere. So when a country is in a clear and deep chaos political, social and economic, one can easily resort to exceptions or to a "situation of exceptionality" that somehow justifies the use of practices that are not entirely legal or accepted by the constitutions and by the framework legal. This happens because, given this exception, it is more important to solve problems directly and quickly than to stop to observe theoretical elements about society.

This is very characteristic of coups that remove from the government legitimately established power and establishing a new government based on the illegality. As has happened throughout history in many countries, those who carry out this type of action claim to do so in the name of the exceptionality, cause that made the action necessary, and they promise to terminate that type of government when the exceptionality has missing.
