Abstract

Inside the field of Law, the usual question about the meaning of a determined concept or the question towards what it makes reference to has always
been complicated. In the last years, different events have produced that philosophical trends reconsider the understanding of the legal system.
In the present article, the author does a presentation of what new constitutionalism means and its opinion towards it. The author also makes a critical analysis of the positivist and jusnaturalist visions, connecting them with the understanding
of Law and the legal system, making an emphasis on Administrative Law.
