In this paper, the authors address the question of federalism from its connection to the way the local constitutional justice in Mexico operates. After the main theoretical perspectives revision that have been built on federalism, it is clear the necessity to do rebuilt its concept in order to articulate it properly to the full exercise of the powers from local governments. Thus, humanistic federalism will locate in the center of his labors to the people and beyond the duality of powers between the "federation" and the local governments, will enable, the latter, to participate actively in the work of local and constitutional justice in cooperation with federal constitutional law, through the exercise of powers that will allow the concurrent jurisdiction of a Constitutional State guarantee.
