Keywords:
leyes orgánicas, enmiendas constitucionales, ChileAbstract
Este artículo analiza las disposiciones de enmienda de la Constitución chilena y las encuentra inusuales en una perspectiva comparada. Explica su peculiaridad desde las condiciones históricas de su adopción original en 1925. Así pues, encuentra que las disposiciones de enmienda son muy difíciles de superar, particularmente por las (justificadas) intenciones de reemplazar completamente la constitución existente (de Pinochet). En consecuencia, no se pueden incluir enmiendas importantes en el nuevo proyecto, y es probable que la mayoría de las nuevas disposiciones tengan un carácter simbólico.
The paper analyzes the amendment provisions of the Chilean constitution and finds them unusual in a comparative perspective. It explains their peculiarity from the historical conditions of their original adoption in 1925. It finds the amendment provisions too difficult to overcome, particularly because of the (justified) intentions of complete replacement of the existing (Pinochet) constitution. As a result, significant amendments cannot be included in the new draft, and most new provisions are likely to be of symbolic nature.
