Objective with this paper presents the thesis that the moral ethics of Kant, is characterized by the synthesis between the theories: natural law, the separation of powers, and, of popular sovereignty. Accordingly, if on the one hand, the concern of natural law was to separate morality and legality, being the first domestic legislation and a second external legislation, on the other, Kant’s concern was to create ways of reconciling forum internum and forum externum, combining the strength and consensus on a single process through which individuals would submit to power up not because they would feel compelled to do so, but because the moral action would lead inescapably to that path. If the thought jusnaturalist observed that men move from self-love, for the purpose of self and selfish interests are governed by oppositional character, and the contract the sum of all individual interests, in Kant, the individual, understood as rational subject in general staff and guides his actions by the principle of autonomous will as supreme legislator. Therefore, the normative legal order in which the contract staff is to be understood not as external moment that requires the individual to coercion, but as internal momentum, by which the individual makes of his action the moment of manifestation of his will in way of enacting a universal law.
