Regrettably, the New Latin American Constitutionalism carried within it a series of delays that greatly spoiled it. Through this work we claim the Constitution as an irreplaceable tool to achieve real democracy and authentic social justice, exposing the achievements of the New Latin American Constitutionalism and proposing alternatives to its weak points.
