La reforma constitucional como problema

Abstract

In the first part, the article explains the value and validity of the 1978 Text as a consensus constitution that enabled a solution to the great historical problems that had divided the Spaniards over the previous two hundred years. Taking as a premise the value of the Constitution, the second part examines the reasons why the constitutional reform is problematic. The problematic character of the reform stems from the fact that in Spain we are not able to distinguish between reform (limited change) and consti­tutional destruction (change that does not respect any limit).
