Description
Echoing the language of commandment round in the Decalogue, article 597 of the Civil Code of Quebec provides that every child owes respect to his or her mother and father. Notwithstanding its expression in legislative form, most experts think that this duty to honour one's parents is not legally binding. After sketching what attitudes to article 597 say about the constraints on legislative rules of conduct, the author considers whether article 597 might alternatively be imagined as a source of learning. By seeking to teach through the law of interpretation and the formal deployment of a symbol for parental authority, the legislature has enacted article 597 hot as precept but as preceptor. Article 597 is thus an invitation to use legislative enactment, on occasion, to shape behaviour through counsel rather than by force. Faisant echo au langage de commandement du decalogue, l'article 597 du Code civil du Quebec stipule que chaque enfant doit respect a sa mere et son pere. Nonobstant son expression dans la forme legislative, le devoir d'honorer ses parents, selon la plupart des experts, n'a force de loi. L'auteur esquisse d'abord la pertinence des approches a l'egard de l'article 597 qui decrivent les contraintes des regles legislatives de comportements, puis se penche sur l'alternative selon laquelle cet article pourrait etre une source d'apprentissage. En voulant enseigner par la loi d'interpretation et l'emploi officiel d'un symbole d'autorite parentale, le legislateur adopta l'article 597 en tant que precepteur et non pas en tant que precepte. Ainsi, l'article 597 convie a une utilisation de la legislation afin de modeler les comportements par des recommandations plutot que la force.
