Abstract

One of the necessary issues is our country, given the current constituent process, is to review the role of the judge in the framework of the constitutional Rule of Law and, eventually, a return to the welfare state. Affirmed from liberal constitutionalism in a restricted work in the model of "separation of powers" installed since Montesquieu's contractualism, the consolidation of judges who have a greater scope of attribution, given the symbiotic relationship that, progressively, constitutional law has and international human rights law, as well as the role of the judge as creator and enabler of the enforceability and justiciability of social rights, the appearance of judicial activism, in light of the ongoing constitutional process in our country, leads us to reflect on this figure, its legal and social nature, and the possible scope in the possible new constitutional (and social) State of Law that stands as a demand clearly desired by the citizens.
