Resumen
MANZO-UGAS, Gustavo Alberto. Authoritarian Constitutionalism. Failure to Fulfill State and Citizen Obligations as a Hypothesis of the Breaking of the Social Contract. Díkaion [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.2, pp.440-464. ISSN 0120-8942. https://doi.org/10.5294/dika.2019.28.2.9.
This research reviews the classic contract theory that explains the origin of the State and its development in light of different events that have given rise to its study. Much like the people and its modern consideration from citizenship, the State has minimum obligations that on the one hand guarantee the viability of the social contract and on the other hand, in case of contravention, requires that citizens engage in certain conduct aimed at enforcing this structure and ensuring its existence. Therefore, new postulates in constitutional theory are explored, such as authoritarian constitutionalism, especially in reference to the current non-democracy of Venezuela, without leaving aside other precedents in the same line of research.
