Primero, ¿qué mecanismo debe utilizarse para el ejercicio del poder constituyente? La respuesta que la práctica del constitucionalismo contemporáneo le ha dado a esa pregunta es clara: la Asamblea Constituyente. La segunda pregunta, en la cual se centra este escrito, es: ¿qué tipo de poder posee (o puede poseer) una Asamblea Constituyente? La respuesta que la práctica del constitucionalismo contemporáneo ha ofrecido a esa pregunta es que dicho poder es un poder soberano. Mi propósito es demostrar que esa respuesta debe rechazarse. Para ello, utilizaré como ejemplo principal el caso colombiano y el artículo 376 de la Constitución de 1991.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT From the perspective of constitutional theory, there are two key questions that emerge in discussions about constitution-making. First, what mechanism should be used for the exercise of constituent power? The answer that the practice of contemporary constitutionalism has given to that question is clear: a Constituent Assembly. The second question, the question in which this article is focused, is what is (or should be) the nature of the power of a Constituent Assembly? The answer that the practice of contemporary constitutionalism has given to that question is that such a power has a sovereign nature. My purpose is to show that that answer should be rejected. In advancing that argument, I will use as my main example the Colombian case and Article 376 of the Constitution of 1991.]]></p></abstract>
