Resumen
NIEMBRO O., Roberto. A Look at Popular Constitutionalism. Isonomía [online]. 2013, n.38, pp.191-224. ISSN 1405-0218.
This article presents the main tenets of one of the most appealing constitutional theories in the last decades: popular constitutionalism. The theory is particularly helpful at questioning our penchant for aspects of post-war European constitutionalism, particularly judicial supremacy and disdain of social movements as agents of constitutional meaning. It presents in detail three main strands within popular constitutionalism: the Founding Fathers's strand, democratic constitutionalism and mediated popular constitutionalism. It then presents some of the questionings that have been directed against the theory and shortly develops a personal view.
