The forge of the constitutional democratic state in Venezuela and its relationship to the fledged democracy [La forja del estado democrático constitucional en Venezuela y su relación con la democracia integral]

The objective of this paper is to present the different approaches from the political theory on the implementation in Venezuela of a totalitarian regime. It is concluded that it began with a form of delegative democracy, from 2005, which degenerated into a competitive authoritarian system (2012 onwards), to finally become a totalitarian system, based on the conflict of powers between the Supreme Court of Justice and the National Assembly, with the weakening and annihilation of the rule of law. The actions of the illegitimate Supreme Court of Justice, not only inconstitutionally invaded exclusive powers of the National Assembly, blocking the proper functions of it, based principally of ideological characters more than in the law, which led the establishment of a purely electoral democracy, with totalitarian aspects, with the imposition and implementation of a Spurious Constituent Assembly, that continuously modifies the Constitutional text in order to benefit the will of the current ruler, in this case of study, Nicolás Maduro. In this way, citizens are violated their right to choose, undermining popular sovereignty, such as completely undermine the electoral mandate expressed on December 6, 2015 and the principles of integral democracy. © 2018, Universidad del Zulia.
