El Derecho Constitucional en su contexto: el ámbito cultural del constitucionalismo.

Abstract

This article deals with the essential characteristics that defines the constitutional state from the liberal revolutions onwards. The evolution of constitutionalism compels to maintain a certain relativism about the tasks to be entrusted to the constitutional texts in the ordering of coexistence. Just in this way it would be possible to distinguish between genuine constitutional states and states which can not stand on as such, and just in this way it would be possible to manage a concept of constitution less transcendental and more appropriate to the reality, more flexible to adapt to the rapid evolution of the present political communities.
