Abstract

Based on the Uruguayan tradition of performing a constitutional interpretation that is exclusively legal (method, context and purpose), it looks for a confrontation of said practice with other more modern perspectives, from where emerges the clear need for an update of the traditional method. After establishing some basis for this update, it seeks to highlight certain pathologies in the Uruguayan constitutional interpretation and display relevant aspects of the analysis that were historically excluded.
