Abstract

This article contextualizes an analysis of the legal and political elements of the rule of law, under a constitutional law perspective. It begins its legal analysis in a reflection of the historical construction of the Rule of Law, as well as the process of formation and foundation of constitutional law. In the same sense, it gives us special importance regarding the independence of judges, the separation of powers and of the courts of justice, as guarantors of the juridical protection of fundamental human rights, to which every human being is entitled to enjoy under conditions of equality.
