Understanding the PACAP Law. Part I: Laws
I am going to try to write a series of articles to help everyone who wants to understand the Law 39/2015 of the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations in a simple way.
What usually happens to those of us who are not familiar with legal language when faced with a 68-page document is that we can feel a sense of helplessness, Will I be able to understand it?, Will the day come when I really master this? In the face of this challenge, I prefer to be methodical and resort to the method that has always been most effective for me in solving problems, and that method is minimizing and isolating the problem. We will use the tactic of Dīvide et īmpera (Divide and conquer). We will break it down little by little, see its structure, and once we know its structure, we will examine each part in more detail. The most important thing when you are learning something is to know at all times where you are, to make understanding much easier. Although it may seem tedious, many times to move forward, you have to go back. This way, we will save time and understand everything in depth.

In the context we are dealing with, we lean more towards the second definition.
Now let's understand the rest of the phrase.
