Abstract

The different meanings of «constitution» postulated throughout the history of ideas are analysed. The normative concept is chosen: the constitution is a cultural product, a base of the entire legal system. The meaning chosen is immediately applied to the prescriptive language that stems from the Argentine Constitution, and its parts and its main device are highlighted: guarantees. In conclusion, the constitution still is a political contract agreed upon by each of the citizens of different generations, to enable and enhance coexistence (expected), or to hinder coexistence (not expected). At the end of the day, it is a human instrument and, as any human creation, it is perfectible.
