Abstract

1. Prolegomena In the context of the "Constitutional Reform" of 2005 promulgated by Law No. 20,050, we are summoned to expose again about the instruments or institutes of cognition, inspection and parliamentary political control of the Chamber of Deputies, whose purpose is to strengthen the improperly called "supervisory power of said corporation, especially the interpellations and their infra-constitutional normative development by the Regulations of the Chamber of Deputies. This monographic approach is pertinent, since the national doctrine fully addresses the configuration of our National Congress and its functions , but the monographic study of the aforementioned "control power" is absent.
