O início dos “freios e contrapesos” no constitucionalismo contemporâneo equatoriano

RESUMENEl presente artículo realiza una revisión sobre el principio de la división de poderes y los “checks and balances”, el cual se contiene en la rama constitucional del Derecho. Conscientes que la distribución del poder y el control que se ejercen entre los organismos públicos, es fundamental para garantizar los Derechos de las personas y formar un Estado, es menester analizar su origen e importancia con el Estado moderno de Derecho. Además, establecer algunas de las patologías por las que atraviesa el principio de la distribución de funciones. De igual manera, determinar cuál es el eje transversal por el cual se guía la Teoría de la Elección Racional, en relación con el poder público. Por lo tanto, la investigación es de carácter exploratorio, ya que revisa la literatura y doctrina sobre la que versa el principio, y de manera particular, se analiza la aplicación del principio en torno a la Constitución del Ecuador del 2008.
