Abstract

In the Political Constitutions of the Republic of 1833 and 1925, it is evident how the principle of Constitutional Supremacy is installed within our legal system with greater clarity than in any other period of our history. This principle alludes to endowing the constitutional norm with greater normative value than any other internal norm. The present work deals with the process of establishing the Constitution as a guide in the work of the different State organs in relation to the conflicts that arise, from a perspective of the constitutional doctrine, and the solutions that, under the Political Constitutions of 1833 and 1925, had our legal system for much of the 19th century and the 20th century, until September 1973, the date on which the Political Constitution of 1925 ceased to be in force, in the face of regulations that seek to contravene it.
