Abstract

Ius Constitutionale Commune en America Latina (ICCAL or Ius Constitutional Commune), came up after a period of authoritarianism in Latin America. ICCAL charts an original path for Latin American transformative constitutionalism. The Commune is a product of academic exchange; though mainly legal in nature, it is also a cultural and a political project, aimed at the structural transformation of society through law. The book: ‘Transformative Constitutionalism in Latin America: The Emergence of a New Ius Commune’ links the Ius Constitutional Commune to various legal phenomena, experiences and theories, and views it from a comparative lens. The article explores the concept of ICCAL and transformative constitutionalism in Latin America, focusing and critically analysing this contribution.

A constrained understanding of McIlwain’s, ‘Constitutionalism: Ancient and Modern’ published by Liberty Fund (2008) is that constitutionalism inherently means separation of powers. It is equated to a demand to create a system of checks and balances on the government.

Even though the US constitution was adopted, it was adapted in an era where there was no consensus between the liberals and the conservative. To find a balance between the two ideologies, the constitution was formulated with high emphasis on powers of the executive.
