Regulation, reality, and operation of the system of constitutional guarantees on rights and freedoms in Venezuela

Abstract

The Venezuelan Constitution of 1999, a constitutional cycle of almost two centuries, is the most fearless, complete and renewed in the treatment of fundamental rights, both in its design and structure, and in the extent of protected rights, and in this sense, we can understand as especially relevant aspects, both the broad constitutional recognition of rights as the institutions and mechanisms of protection and assurance that you create in order to the effectiveness of these rights. However, the theoretical rights and freedoms, and their constitutional guarantees treatment, is not characterized political reality, on the one hand, by a model of confusion and interference of powers which makes the principle of legality and judicial independence guarantees empty content, and on the other by a State intervention without limits in the life of the citizens.
