The Constitution
General Notions.
Rights: The rights are faculties, freedoms or basic values inherent to the human being, which means that they belong to us by the simple fact of being people.
Guarantees: Constitutional guarantees are the mechanisms that make our human rights enforceable when there is some kind of violation.
Principles: The constitutional principles are those that affect the result of superior values for humanity, therefore, they are the normative subsidies of fundamental rights.

Constitutions of Ecuador
Ecuador has had twenty constitutions. The high number is not a success, but rather a
problem, because it means that we have changed the rules of the game too often.
A new Constitution has been issued after a dictatorship has been ruled or when there has been a popular demand for constitutional rules to be modified. Some constitutions have produced major reforms in national life, such as that of 1906 established by the secular state or that of 1929 that included advanced social reforms.
Since Independence, before the founding of Ecuador, several constitutions were approved that were drafted in the midst of the independence wars. Then the Constitution of Great Colombia was adopted. The first constitution of our country as a Republic was issued in Riobamba in 1830.
The Constitution that currently governs in Ecuador was issued by the National Constituent Assembly and adopted after it was approved by popular consultation on September 28, 2008.
What's the Constitution?
Countries need to establish fundamental and general rules for people and groups with the goal that they can live in harmony. The book where the fundamental rules are strict is known as the "Constitution" of the Republic or "Political Constitution.
It is an agreement whereby citizens of a country give up a part of their personal freedom to ensure that collective life develops without obstacles. The Constitution is a rule that includes the agreements reached by a society. It is considered to be the legal basis of democracy.
Pure Theory of Law
The idea of a Pure Theory of Law was propounded by the formidable Austrian jurist and philosopher Hans Kelsen (1881–1973). Usually attributed to Hans Kelsen is the famous Stufenbautheorie (theory of stepped construction), also called “theory of hierarchical order of structure” or “normative pyramid.”
The Supreme Rule:
All other rules must correspond with it and respect the rights and guarantees. All authorities and citizens must respect and comply with the standards of the Constitution. No rule or provision can go against the Constitution.
