Resumen

In recent years there has been a tendency to make the 1980 Political Constitution a kind of pariah in our constitutional history; it would be an illegitimate constitution. That has been the argument used to justify the need to start a new constituent process. That way of arguing seems to forget that the same or even more legitimacy issues may be found in the constitutional texts of 1833 and 1925, even if—as has been the case with the current constitution—Chile has lived long periods of political and institutional stability.
