Decisiones constitucionales sobre especificación de derechos. Contribuciones para un modelo más comprometido con la democracia

The existence of reasonable disagreements on the scope of abstract constitutional provisions on rights, even accepting their conception as minimums of dignity that deserve special protection, demands inquiring on institutional adjustments to provide better democratic legitimacy to decisions on their specification. On the grounds of a weak version of constitutionalism and considering the judicial review as a speech under a dialogue: (a) some alternatives for democratic improvement of the judicial review itself are preliminary explored; and (b) a model including a legislative evaluation and an eventual constitutional response to the judicial decision is hereby proposed. Said response should be performed by an intense democratic procedure, promoting vigorous political deliberation and citizen participation.
