Proportionality
Explanation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportionality_(law)
Proportionality is a general principle in law which covers several special (although related) concepts. The concept of proportionality is used as a criterion of fairness and justice in statutory interpretation processes, especially in constitutional law, as a logical method intended to assist in discerning the correct balance between the restriction imposed by a corrective measure and the severity of the nature of the prohibited act.

Proportionality


Explanation:
In mathematics, two variables are proportional if a change in one is always accompanied by a change in the other, and if the changes are always related by use of a constant multiplier. The constant is called the coefficient of proportionality or proportionality constant.

Example sentence(s):
  • The principle of proportionality is the idea that an action should not be more severe than is necessary, especially in a war or when punishing someone for a crime.
  • In mathematics, proportionality indicates that two quantities or variables are related in a linear manner.

agree  Matheus Chaud: Usuário novo, rapazes... take it easy... Barry, bem-vindo ao KudoZ! Quando uma resposta idêntica já foi postada, em vez de postar a mesma resposta de novo, o ideal é concordar com a resposta já postada (deixar um "agree"). Qualquer dúvida estamos aí!
