LA PRETENSIÓN DE OBJETIVIDAD COMO UNA ESTRATEGIA PARA OBLIGAR: LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE CIERTA CULTURA DE HERMENÉUTICA CONSTITUCIONAL HACIA FINES DEL SIGLO XX

Abstract

The paper explains how the current constitutional interpretation has political matrixes, relating certain constitutional interpretation to the political program of the Constitution itself, during the Dictatorship. It develops a reference to the codifier period on 19th century, which shows a relation between a political program written into the law and certain strategies toward it protection, such as the rules for legal interpretation. Some Chilean constitutionalism, especially during the first decades of the current Constitution, shows a commitment with a similar structure: an unmodified catalogue of fundamental rights attached to criteria of constitutional interpretation that petrify its content.
