The people as a constituent subject

a critic vision towards the philosophy of liberation

Abstract

This article analyzes the category of people used by the modern constitutionalism theory presented by the
bourgeois law. The main object is to underline two aspects from this theory: the dynamic sense of the category and
the static one. Towards this differentiation it presents a critic analysis of this constitutionalist category to be used
by the constituent power. It also proposes an analysis of the people´s constituent potential, from the Latin-American
liberation thinking.
