Abstract

This is an attempt to argue in favor of social rights as essential to the building of democracy. The understanding about such case is clear: if democracy cannot be made without citizens, these must have their rights guaranteed, not only basic rights, but also the right to benefit from conditions to thoroughly exercise their citizenship in order lo really participate in democracy. This issue is put more strongly amongst the Colombians due to the fragility of their civil institutions. It is based on such issue that the text is developed.
