Abstract

This article investigates the constitutional basis of the taking reason of administrative acts and the issuance of opinions concerning the General Comptroller of the Republic. While the taking reason imports a preventive control of subjection of the acts of the Administration to the Constitution and to the law, the dictaminate power its a consultation act formulated by the organs of the State administration or an act of response to requests from individuals or officials. In this sense, the author develops the normative background and the jurisprudence criteria that have shaped both constitutional powers, the tensions raised regarding the conservative powers of the courts of justice, as well the limitations that circumscribe the exercise of the powers of the control organ, objects of this study.
