Emancipation comes from the Latin word "emancipatĭo" or "emancipatiōnis" which means "action of leaving free", with lexical elements such as the prefix "ex" which means "out", "manus" which is equivalent to "hand", "Capere" which means "take" or "take" and the suffix "cion" for "action and effect". The great dictionary of the Spanish Royal Academy describes the term emancipation as: the action and effect of emancipating or emancipating oneself. In a more extensive way, emancipation refers to the autonomy, liberation or independence of one or more individuals in relation to a power, a guardianship, authority or another type of dependence, subjection, submission or subordination.
Today the word refers to the action of becoming independent, when you are a minor, from your parents; that is to say in that case when the parents grant their successors the capacities that correspond to them when they reach the age of majority, without having fulfilled it as such; Another case of emancipation occurs when a minor marries, he is considered as emancipated.
Referring to emancipation throughout history, in Roman times, according to the laws, this term was considered as the act of liberation of a submissive or slave only by the will of his master or owner; although it must be taken into account that at that time slaves were considered as objects but not as people. In addition, it should be noted that in the times of the Roman Empire emancipation occurred more often, because they began to be independent at an early age; phenomenon that today has changed for different reasons.
