| Descripció: | So many misrepresentations of the concept of Constitution have accumulated that, today, it is amazing to note that even jurists, political scientists, and politicians are victims of such distortions. This article aims at analyzing how, as a result of two of the greatest fallacies built in modernism: the confusion and assimilation of the concepts of representativeness and democracy, on one hand, and the confusion and assimilation of the concepts of legality and legitimacy, on the other hand; there has been a distortion of the idea of sovereignty, and consequently of the concept of Constitution. This has led everybody to call Constitution some rules which, from the standpoint of democratic constitutional theory, are not Constitutions but laws. A clear example of this is the current 1976 “Constitution” of Portugal. |
