Abstract

ESCAMILLA CADENA, Alberto. The exercise of constitutional checks on the Supreme Court in Mexico. Polis [online]. 2013, vol.9, n.2, pp.49-77. ISSN 2594-0686.

This paper analyzes the constitutional controls (constitutional controversies and actions of unconstitutionality) that the Supreme Court of Justice has ruled in Mexico, specifically in the conflict between the Executive and the Legislature. In particular, we study two cases: the approval of the expenditure budget of the federation in 2005, which led to a constitutional controversy, and telecommunications law, radio and television passed in 2006, which resulted in an action of unconstitutionality.

Keywords : Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation; Legislature; Telecommunication Law.
