Abstract

Resumen: En los Estados democráticos modernos la política se distingue como el conjunto de acciones encaminadas a conquistar y preservar el poder supremo de la soberanía. Poder soberano que se encuentra y radica en la sociedad, la cual, a través de su accionar define las leyes e instituciones para ser defendida y gobernada. De esta manera, si bien el Estado puede implementar medidas que afecten a la sociedad en su conjunto, también es cierto que él mismo se encuentra regulado por la sociedad que lo conforma, es decir, por los procesos normativos y sociales que lo delimitan en su acción. Finalmente, es la sociedad que con su sentir y con su obrar forja el gobierno que desea o merece.Abstract: In modern democratic status, politics is distinguished as a set of actions that seek for conquering and preserving the supreme power of sovereignty. Sovereign power takes root in society, which, through its actions, defines the laws and institutions in order to be defended and governed. Thus, although the State can influence the society as a whole, it is also true that the State is regulated by its society, that is to say, by the normative and social processes that delimitate its actions. Ultimately, it is society that, with its feelings and actions, forges the government it wants and deserves.
