| Summary: |
With the approval of the new Constitution in 1991, the framers fought against
the excessive centralism of previous constitutional regime. It was established
an unitary State but with autonomy for the territorial entities in political,
administrative and financial matters. With regard to the pieces that make up
the territorial organization, in addition to the preexisting entities (departments,
municipalities and districts), were created some news, as the Indian
territorial entities, and the Legislator was authorized to establish provinces
and regions. It is important to point out the fact that the Constitution of 1991
left into the hands of the Legislator the power to define, specify and close
the territorial model, according to the constitutional commands. Moreover,
it must be recognized the role that the jurisprudence of the Constitutional
Court has played in the definition of the structure of the territorial system,
even though in many times its decisions has decline the autonomy of the
territorial entities in favor of the principle of unity. |
