Abstract

The present work exposes the way in which the Comptroller General of the Republic exercises the control of constitutionality of the acts of the State Administration. To do this, some examples are offered of how the Comptroller's Office, based on its two most important legal functions - the taking of reason and the ruling function - carries out this control of constitutionality, for which some of its main pronouncements have been selected in that document. sense.
