The existence of a constitutional seal aggravates the disadvantages. Then, he dedicates a section to study the motivation of the judgments generated in this type of control, questioning its value. For such purposes he makes a theoretical and empirical study of the jurisprudence of the Chilean Constitutional Court in the last …
