Abstract

The purpose of the constitutional reform function is to reconcile the irrevocable tendency to change, to which the constitutional orders are driven by the inevitable and unstoppable political-social evolution and at the same time its permanence in that, as a fundamental text in the that crystallizes the political decision of a society, requires its consolidation. In the present work some points are raised around certain aspects of the reform activity such as the ownership of the initiative of the constitutional reform, as well as the convenience or inopportune of it, the territorial organization of the State and the serious Catalan problem that currently provoke a deep reflection.
