Abstract
The adoption of the 1973 Constitution supposed a great improvement in the regulation of social justice and social rights in comparison to the previous constitutional texts, but civil and political rights continue having a preeminent character. The 1973 Constitution provides seven key areas for prioritization: labor, agriculture and natural resources, health, women, among others. It is true that Congress has enacted a good number of social legislation in with with these priority areas, but this has not been enough.
