Abstract
It is assumed that the rule of law is guaranteed by the Constitution; the egulatory body that establishes the structure of government, recognizes the primary objective of human rights, and expresses control mechanisms related to the empowerment of the people. However, without a democratic framework, the regulations do not guarantee that their goals are met. Mexico has had various constitutional reforms that have failed to fulfil their missions. In this context, this work argues that the institutional, economic, and human rights crisis in Mexico will not be solved with “legal reforms”, but by the accompaniment of a reorientation of the actors involved in the political, administrative, and justice sectors. Also, as input, the article proposes new lines of action to improve governance and participatory bases in order to make a reality of the legal, economic, and political provisions of the Constitution.
