The Constitutional Permeability Principle: Guidelines towards a Constructive Constitutional Theory in Mexico
Enrique Uribe Arzate, Isaac de Paz González

Abstract
The Mexican Constitution easiest way to change shows the lack of limits to respect its basic principles. The absence a regular and methodological basis and the pitfalls of instrumental social deliberation is the background of the Constitutional change since 1917, with 618 amendments until July 2014. This situation has ended in a deformability of the understanding of what kind of norms must contain, and how can we construct a new qualitative dimension of the Constitution in a complex society taking into account the necessity of a contribution to the global governance and politics. In this regard, the Constitutional amendments try to reach the social goals trough a prescriptive dimension trying to repair dysfunctions about economics, human rights, accountability, electoral reforms, and so on; this situation has prompted normative inflation of the Constitutional body.
