Abstract

The economic crisis started in 2008 has not been only a financial crisis but also it has been a crisis on the roots of our political system, the democracy. Deficiencies of representative systems, that they were already known, are having now important consequences as populism, absence of government, or the questioning of the system. Is there any solution to this situation? Is the solution, as some authors maintain, to overcome the representativeness and built a direct democracy? Maybe the solution is in the essence of Constitutional State, that is, make the protection of human rights deeper and stronger.
