Derechos fundamentales y derechos humanos: categorías diferenciales en el estado constitucional

Abstract

In constitutional legal theory, talking about rights not only means talking about the normative conditions of the legal system, but it also becomes a discussion about the core of the constitutional State. Contemporary constitutionalism can be understood to the extent that its construction not only responds to a broad criterion of norms that establish guarantees but also develops from a double vision, both of a political and legal order, where the State, through its existence and operation, establishes the considerations to which any subject can access. Such considerations are presented in a double category: human rights and fundamental rights. This work, through the use of a qualitative methodology and descriptive analysis, aims to point out the coinciding and differential aspects between one category and another.
