Abstract

This essay deals with the content of the State's service, which is constitutionally consecrated, in order to establish that it is this last principle that heads the fundamental axiological framework destined to direct the actions of the Chilean State. It maintains that Article 1 of the Constitution imposes on the public apparatus an active duty of permanent adaptation of its functions towards the achievement of the common good, protecting individual and collective interests. This premise is contrary to the idea of reduction of the State, which has flourished under a Chilean constitutional interpretation linked to the notion of subsidiarity, which it proposes must be overcome.
