Abstract

The constitutional replacement theory is a jurisprudence construction that supports the judicial review of constitutional amendments in Colombia, taking on account the main idea that the power to amend the Constitution is different from the power to replace it. In this paper I will make a theorical approach to this concept. Besides, I will explain in an elemental way the problem of the democratic objection to the constitutional control of the law (even the amendments), and finally I will answer to that objection having on account the constitutional replacement theory.
