Primeras constituciones nacionales y declaraciones de independencia.

España entró en la historia del constitucionalismo mundial a comienzos del siglo XIX con la Constitución de Cádiz de 1812. Anteriormente José Bonaparte, hermano de Napoleón Bonaparte elaboró un texto constitucional para España, la Carta Otorgada de Bayona de 1808 que nunca entro en vigor. Desde esa fecha hasta la actualidad conocemos una larga secuencia de constituciones que no pudieron mantenerse en el tiempo, debido a las discrepancias de sus realizadores. Asi, la secuencia ordenada de constituciones españolas da el siguiente resultado: 1812, Constitucion progresista (de cinco a seis años de vigencia en años alternos); 1834, Estatuto Real conservador (tres años de vigencia); 1837, Constitucion progresista (ocho años de vigencia); 1845, Constitucion conservadora (veinticuatro años de vigencia); 1869, Constitucion progresista, (cuatro años de vigencia); 1876, Constitucion progresista, (cuarenta y siete años de vigencia); 1931, Constitucion progresista, (ocho años de vigencia); 1938-1975, Leyes franquistas (treinta y siete años de vigencia); 1978, Constitucion progresista, (vigente hasta la actualidad).La constitucion vigente tiene, en comparacion con las demas constituciones, la ventaja de haberse elaborado en un clima de consenso, inedito en la historia de España. Esa colaboracion entre partidos politicos, de muy diversa y, a veces, confrontada ideologia, hizo posible la elaboracion de un texto que sumaba adeptos y conseguia unificar criterios, pues su interpretacion lograba dar solucion a una inmensa multitud de problemas. El respeto a sus principios ha posibilitado que cualquier actividad politica pueda medirse por su caracter de constitucionalidad o de inconstitucionalidad. Asi mismo, la existencia de un Tribunal constitucional garantiza la solvencia de las leyes y el respeto de las autoridades para con la ciudadania. Por otro lado, su capitulo de reformas esta recogido en un articulado coherente y de facil realizacion que permite las reformas necesarias, con una unica obligacion, que esas reformas se hagan con el mismo grado de consenso que permitio su elaboracion.

La Constitución Nacional reconoce el derecho de las autoridades indígenas para ejercer funciones jurisdiccionales dentro de su ámbito territorial, de conformidad con sus propias normas y procedimientos.Una profusa jurisprudencia de las Altas Cortes colombianas ha ido determinando los contornos de esta funcion jurisdiccional, las materias sobre las que se aplica y los limites a los que se ve sometida. De similar manera, en este conjunto de sentencias se han ido trazando los criterios de competencia que determinan cuando un delito es juzgado por la jurisdiccion ordinaria y cuando por la jurisdiccion especial indigena.Esta obra hace un recuento de las reglas dogmaticas que se aplican en estos casos, restituye los debates conceptuales y doctrinales que han generado fricciones y compara el ambito de aplicacion del derecho propio indigena con el de los otros paises del mundo andino.

This eBook edition of "U.S. Constitution: Foundation & Evolution" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Preamble to the Constitution The Constitution of the United States of America is the supreme law of the United States. The Constitution acted like a colossal merger, uniting a group of states with different interests, laws, and cultures. Under Americas first national government, the Articles of Confederation, the states acted together only for specific purposes. The Constitution united its citizens as members of a whole, vesting the power of the union in the people. Without it, the American Experiment might have ended as quickly as it had begun. James Madison introduced 12 amendments to the First Congress in 1789. Ten of these would go on to become what we now consider to be the Bill of Rights. One was never passed, while another dealing with Congressional salaries was not ratified until 1992, when it became the 27th Amendment. Based on the Virginia Declaration of Rights, the English Bill of Rights, the writings of the Enlightenment, and the rights defined in the Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights contains rights that many today consider to be fundamental to America.

En Observando verdades y memorias se hace seguimiento al discurso expuesto en las noticias divulgadas en medios de comunicación nacionales durante los años 2019 y 2021 con relación a los órganos creados en el Acuerdo de La Habana: la Jurisdiccion Especial para la Paz (JEP), la Comision para el Esclarecimiento de la Verdad, la Convivencia y la No Repeticion (CEV) y la Unidad de Busqueda de Personas Dadas por Desaparecidas (UBPD) del Sistema Integral de Verdad, Justicia, Reparacion y Garantia de No Repeticion (SIVJRNR), hoy Sistema Integral para la Paz (SIP).

Uno de los debates más interesantes sobre la justicia constitucional es el relativo a la jurisdiccionalización de lo político, es decir, la participación del juez constitucional en la definición de la direccion politica del Estado cuando ejerce el control abstracto de constitucionalidad; esto porque el juez constitucional en ejercicio del control abstracto, puede excluir alternativas politicas contrarias a las orientaciones constitucionales o, incluso, amoldarlas a la Constitucion. En opinion de Gustavo Zagrebelsky dicha jurisdiccionalizacion comporta, a su vez e inevitablemente, la politizacion de la justicia; que no es cosa diferente a actuar como organo juridico y politico a la vez, y, ademas, la sumision de los problemas politicos a la decision de un tribunal u organo jurisdiccional, que los dirimira con base en criterios juridicos en virtud de una sentencia judicial2.
