Abstract

Starting from the assumption that constitutions arise in politically and socially convulsed contexts, as a result of the existing malaise, or, on the contrary, as beacons of hope for the peoples and nations that promulgate them, the author analyzes the origin of constitutionalism in Latin America. and specifies the challenges that it currently faces, illustrating with specific realities of some countries in the region.
