Este texto es un ensayo de aproximación al garantismo de Luigi Ferrajoli. Para él, los derechos fundamentales existen por su consagración constitucional, que obliga al legislador ordinario a dotarlos de las garantías imprescindibles para su efectividad práctica. Cuidar de esta, en el Estado constitucional es la función propia de las instituciones de garantía; una función histó-ricamente descuidada, llamada en este nuevo contexto a cumplir un papel de primer orden: la gestión y la tutela del área de lo políticamente indecidible, como sustraída a la discrecionalidad de la política.
This text is an essay approaching the theory of the system of legal guarantees developed by Luigi Ferrajoli.

A function which has been historically neglected, and which in this new context is called to fulfil a role of the greatest importance: the management and guardianship of the area of what may not be politically decided, since it is removed from the discretion of politics
