Political participation under the tutelage

Abstract

In the investigation about “Epistemology focus of the Constitutional Court about the tutela fails in the period 1992-2005, on the Fundamental Right to the Political Participation” we found that the rights involved were the right to elect and the right to be elected, the access to public jobs, the right to the vote and the right to conform political parties and movements. We did not find that the rights to resign the mandate, to participle in plebiscites and popular consults were mentioned. Colombia counts with a rich constitutional consagration which exceeds the simple right to vote and concedes the Colombian citizen to a great diversity of competences which allows them to a very more active role before the State matters, thus the jurisprudential development and the doctrinal right to the right in the political participation has been happening in a tangible way.

The method chosen was of the comprehensive and imperative kind.
