THE LANGUAGE AND THECONSTITUTION. EXPRESSION AND INTERPRETATION OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL TEXT IN A DEMOCRATIC STATE

Abstract

A Constitution represents the fundamental norm in a democratic state, projects to the legal system,
validates acts and omissions of public powers, legitimizes general norms and raises the structure of
the State. Its interpretation requires very fine legal operations that must have a certain consistency in
their reasonableness and objectivity, hence, the work of those who approach the constitutional text -
for interpretive purposes- must carry out very rigorous argumentative operations of expression of the
different legal content, without incurring fallacies or going beyond certain canons, that is why its
interpretation and operation can be carried out by legislators, judges, lawyers or law professors, but
difficult for those who are not part of the legal community . Therefore, the aim of this work is to explain
the technical legal language of the provisions contained in the constitutional text as a problem and to
infer its adequate expression, in accordance with its purpose.
