Resumo

En su concepción original la constitución distribuye el poder político y pone límites a quienes lo ejercen y, a la vez, garantiza los derechos de los ciudadanos. Para un conjunto de países esto ha dado lugar al desarrollo del estado de derecho y la democracia. Por lo contrario, los regímenes autoritarios concentran el poder en una persona o grupo por diversos motivos y la constitución cumple otras funciones, aunque el texto constitucional puede ser similar en ambos regímenes. El autoritarismo tiene también consecuencias en el funcionamiento del aparato estatal, del sistema y la cultura jurídicas.
