Nobody will be able to be deprived of his freedom by debts”.

Likewise it happens in Uruguayan territory, his prohibition is usual in the whole world, even in the developed country.

Although in other epochs it was not very well seen that was receiving from himself interests in the given money, it is important to add at present the moderate interests agreed by the law of the different countries when credits and loans are granted, there are clearly an insurance for those persons or institutions that give capital to the persons.
