Abstract

Every Constitution is the result and expression of a political vision of things, and in Western democracies the ordinary channel for this interpretation has one of its maximum referents in ideologies. They defend a rational and systematic explanation about the structure and profound meaning of the rational and political being, and seek an organization of it according to the mother-ideas that serve as the axis and foundation of their own worldview. They advocate, in practical and theoretical competition with others, a chosen way of conceiving the forms of political power and its relationship with the subject, and, in general, of organizing the relationships of men in a legally organized political body.
