Abstract

Peru as all other ibero-american nations, gained its political independence at the beginning of the XIX century, exactly in 1821. This beginning went together with approving and passing many different Constitutions, but this was not carried out accompanied with large theoretical developments. This happened by individual initiatives and in some sense solitary activities of some intellectuals in the XX century, leaded at its beginnings by Manuel Vicente Villarán.  With the years this will change slowly when new authors appear, not only with texts but also teaching at the universities. The real change occurs at the end of the 1970s, coinciding with the democratizations that took place all over the world and especially in Latin American countries. This has its starting point with the 1979 Constitution, it is followed by a sort of constitutional boom which is reflected in the proliferation of courses of Constitutional and the appearance of specialized teachers in the area, events and publications were made in rapid succession. This covers the last years of the twentieth century and continues in the new century.
