o:8998 Institute of property rights through a historical prism Institut prava svojine kroz istorijsku prizmu en ABSTRACT: The institute of property rights is one of the oldest legal institutes. It appears as a historically determined form of social relations that arises in connection with the appropriation and possession of material goods. Since its inception, it has been the subject of fierce battles, but also the subject of a person's greatest factual and legal protection. However, property is not only a legal concept, but also an economic, social, ethical, and even a religious concept. The development of the institute of property is interwoven with turbulent changes, which reflect the direction of societal development and evolve in accordance with its needs. For this reason, the institute of property rights is the most suitable legal institute, through which social relations in different periods of society's development are viewed. Therefore, in this paper we will analyze the institution of the right of ownership across several historical periods: Roman law, the era of feudalism, the bourgeois revolutions, as well as the modern age.
