Límites y control a la reforma constitucional en México

Abstract

The limits to constitutional reform/amendments are, at all times, a highly topical subject in constitutional law because of the acts of arbitrariness likely to be committed by the holders of power through modifications to the Constitution. Presently, this subject becomes particularly important in Mexico due to the deep reform process the country is going through, and because of the controversial position adopted by the Mexican Court with relation to these limits.

This article attempts to provide a general outlook of restrictions to the reforming power and, particularly, of the position adopted by the Supreme Court of Justice in that respect.
