RIVERA LEON, Mauro Arturo. Models of constitutional procedural legitimacy in the federal entities in Mexico: A look at constitutional procedural federalism. Cuest. Const. [online]. 2021, n.44, pp.213-255.  Epub Jan 21, 2022. ISSN 1405-9193.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24484881e.2021.44.16164.

This article analyzes the legal standing models in constitutional control mechanisms established by the states in the Mexican case. The author argues that given Mexican federalism, Germany stands as an adequate comparative point. That is, Germany is a Federal State that has established operative models of constitutional control in the Länder. However, the German model has a clear competence distribution between its federal and State constitutional jurisdiction. Unlike the German model, the Mexican model is characterized by the primacy of the Federal system and not the distribution of competences. The author concludes that in the absence of a clear distribution of competences, establishing new subjects with legal standing is the only hope towards the operation of local models.

Keywords : Constitutional procedure; federalism; and federative entities.
