It shows how governance and constitutional justice are inseparable, given that the rule of law is part and parcel of democracy, and requires reliable instruments for law enforcement and the administration of justice, as well as the protection of human rights. Democracy does not only mean electing representatives and governors, as voting alone may give rise to the dictatorship of the majorities, disregarding minorities’ rights. These can only be protected by enforcing the Constitution through constitutional justice.La tesis de este ensayo consiste en destacar la importancia que para el sostenimiento de la democracia, como sistema de gobierno, tiene la justicia constitucional, que es inseparable de aquélla puesto que el Estado de Derecho, consubstancial a la democracia, requiere de instrumentos confiables de aplicación de la ley y de administración de la justicia, así como de protección de los derechos humanos. Por otra parte, la democracia no consiste solamente en la elección de los mandatarios y representantes, puesto que la simple votación puede conducir a la dictadura de las mayorías, con desconocimiento de los derechos de las minorías, que sólo puede proteger la observancia de la Constitución a través de la justicia constitucional.2009text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=5124291(Revista) ISSN 1138-4824Anuario iberoamericano de justicia constitucional, ISSN 1138-4824, Nº. 13, 2009, pags. 207-222spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
