El Derecho Natural como Fundamento de las Reformas que Vendrán. Propuestas para una Redefinición de las Bases Constitucionales del Gobierno Fundadas en el Derecho Natural en Latinoamérica (The Natural Law as Foundation for the Reforms that Will Come - Proposals for a Redefinition af the Constitutional Bases Founded on the Natural Law in Latin America)

Abstract:     
The author presents several ancient philosophical and legal concepts that, in his opinion, should be re-kindled for the reformulation of contemporary democracies in the Western world, particularly in the Americas. For this aim, he relies in the writings of two thinkers, one of the pagan Rome (Cicero), and other one, the eighteen century Protestant Englishman thinker, Edmund Burke.
