Symbolic constitutionalization and constitutional debate in Chile

Abstract

For some years, Chile has been going through a special period. The need to change the current constitution of Chile is heard in different areas, understanding that, as a positive law, it must adapt to the social changes experienced by our country. The demand for constitutional change has gone beyond the traditional limits of the organizations dedicated to the political sphere and has also generated massive popular movements that, in different occasions and circumstances, have raised the need to have a new constitutional order where their claims may have a legitimate place.
