The rectory Constitutional as authoritative power

Abstract

In this article, I propose to demonstrate that the introduction, in the Constitution of the Republic, of the "rectory" as attribution of the President is the result of a conception of power under a hyper-presidential system, which at the same time defines a state of law, derives from the authoritarian exercise of power. I analyze the rectory in the real spaces of the public administration, that is, the power of the President of the Republic, as head of government: In the National Development Plan, in the General Budget of the State, in the Decentralized Autonomous Governments, and in the Armed Forces. I finish discovering the theoretical and historical origin and the risks of the Presidential Rectory for democracy and for the rights of the citizens and the resistance of the people against an authoritarian political system.
