The fundamental laws of Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador as an element of Bolivarian Revolution in Latin America

Summary/Abstract: The Bolivarian Revolution started in 1999, by Hugo Chávez, extended to reachnot only Venezuela but also Bolivia and Ecuador. Whether, what today is called “the revolution”, deserves its title is often being questioned. It is certain, though that a lasting result of those actions is a set of completely new fundamental laws. Some similarities can be found both in this process and in ratifications of new Constitutions. The following article is meant to be an attempt of political and legal analysis of constitutional process and of the ratifications of new fundamental laws. Special attention was given to those similaritieswhich were usually connected with the idea of the Bolivarian Revolution and with the so‑called „Socialism of XXI century”. Furthermore, the issues which were reflected in new Constitutions and which for each of those three populist leaders, are the elementsdistinguishing the Bolivarian Revolution in those countries, will be discussed.
