Abstract

For nobody is a secret that we live complex societies whose political and cultural sphere is dominated by the discourse of equality and freedom. Equality is assumed as an incontrovertible universal budget and is expressed, among other things, in an equal system of individual liberties and an equal consideration of each and every one before the law. Nevertheless, this conquest of the modern world is seen today with reluctance by those who, far from claiming equality, are betting on difference. This is, without a doubt, one of the most pressing problems faced by the current political and legal theory, and the great challenge for the constitutional theory of the 21st century.

The problem surrounding the right of social, cultural and ethnic minorities in the current democratic and constitutional states, although it is one of the oldest problems of humanity, has become evident after the realization that the current social reality ( political, economic, cultural, psychological, historical, anthropological) is heteromorphic and pluralistic, which demands to be reinterpreted from antithetical ideas such as: universalism or particularism, integration or emancipation, equality or difference, individualism or collectivism.
