Luces y sombras de la dificultad contramayoritaria

This article aims to make a revision of some objections that have been raised about the countermajoritarian actuation of judges and indicate the answers that have been given to each of them. With the purpose to demonstrate that, rather than difficulties, the way in which constitutional judges perform their functions in democratic systems, offers opportunities to evaluate the current legal-institutional practice in a State, to generate balance between governing and society, as well as to achieve better deliberative scenarios.
