This paper explores the complex relationship between law and violence. It proposes a critical reading of the interpretation mechanisms that try to override the political dimensions of the Constitution. In particular, it ana- lyzes the “originalism” of the Chilean constitutionalism that appeals to the objectivity of the Constitution, founded in the notion of truth hidden behind the idea of origin. Following the critical theory approach –Benjamin, Fou- cault, among others– the paper questions the assumptions that set aside the debate on the political content of the 1980 Chilean Constitution.
