Journal Article
Limits and methodological criteria for the substitution of the Constitution doctrine in Colombia
2025
Overview
This article will analyze the interpretation limits and methodologies used by the Constitutional Court when reviewing constitutional reforms. In Judgment C-551 of 2003, it was established that although the 1991 Colombian Constitution does not contain any eternity clauses, the consubstantial elements of the Constitution and those elements of the constitutional block that identify it cannot be changed through constitutional reform. In this case, the power of reform would become constituent power, subverting its powers and giving rise to a procedural defect. In this context, we will examine whether these methodologies are useful in limiting the broad degree of discretion the Court has in determining when a reform supersedes the Constitution
En el artículo se analizarán los limites interpretativos y las metodologías que ha dispuesto la Corte Constitucional cuando hace la revisión de las reformas constitucionales. En la Sentencia C-551 de 2003, se dispuso que a pesar de que la Constitución colombiana de 1991 no contiene cláusulas pétreas, no se pueden cambiar o derogar a través de la reforma constitucional los elementos consustanciales de la Constitución y aquellos elementos del bloque de constitucionalidad que la identifican. En este caso el poder de reforma se convertiría en poder constituyente, subvertiría sus competencias y daría lugar a un vicio de forma. En este orden de ideas, se verificará si dichas metodologías son útiles para limitar el amplio grado de discrecionalidad que tiene la Corte en determinar cuándo una reforma sustituye la Constitución.
