Resumen
En la primera parte del trabajo explicamos el núcleo del problema que supone el Derecho constitucional comparado, tomando como ejemplo el caso estadounidense. Después de mostrar la presencia del fenómeno en el plano cultural y jurisprudencial, concluimos que el uso del análisis comparativo en materia constitucional puede estar justificado si se dan ciertas condiciones que, necesariamente, restringen su ámbito de aplicación. Además, dicho uso presupone la aceptación de la universalidad de los derechos humanos, a cuya explicación dedicamos la segunda parte del trabajo, a la vez que mostramos su relevancia para el debate en cuestión.
The first part of this article tries to explain what is Comparative Constitutional Law and takes as an example the US legal practice. The presence of comparative analysis is portrayed both in the cultural arena and in the case law of the Supreme Court. The conclusion of this first part is that Comparative Constitutional Law only makes sense if it is understood as restricted by several constraints explained in this article. It is also suggested that the comparative enterprise only makes sense if the universality of human rights is first acknowledged. The second part of the paper delves on such universality and connects it with notions of natural law that are thought to be, by the authors, essential for the adequate understanding of this topic.
