Summary: The sharp separation between law and economics has been even more evident in the field of constitutional law due to the historic fundamental principle of the concept of State at a given time and the imposing in society of values and principles that are considered minimum for community life and immutable because they are the foundation of the sovereignty of the people, primary holder of the constituent power. Nonetheless, such radical separation of these two sciences has been overcome thanks to the economic analysis of constitutional law, a discipline that allows for the analysis of the creation, modification and application of the norms, using microeconomic processes which could explain in large manner the differences between theory and reality. This is materialized in the School of Public Choice which has created several theories related to the most important problems faced by the State from the perspective of the structure of Constitutional Law.
