| Summary: | The complexity of the political tasks, has led to functional specialization or division of the political (power tridivisión liberal whose content was to limit the power of rulers), in order to eliminate the absolute centralization of power in head of a single person or single ruler. We face an evident weakening of the legislature and regional governments, benefiting from enhanced executive powers, breaking the classic pattern of equality and balance of the branches of power, and doing more than ever necessary to the effective control political power.
Thus, while the formalization of independence and equality of organs continues to share with the Constitution, nothing really happens in politics, where Congress holds a formal character, as opposed to the Executive, which is still without attributing a number of features that increase their power. It is therefore verify a possible weakening of the legislature, as opposed to the vast power of decision of de government.
The analysis covers the problem of the historical nature of the precept of separation of powers of the branches of government, trying to understand reality as a process state, which is one of the central aspects of current constitutionalism, the purpose here is to analyze the relationship between constitutional provisions for political control, with the way relationships develop between the executive and legislative, and how to have a direct impact on how political power is exercised in Colombia. |
