dc.description.abstractConstitutions change in different ways,and some constitutions - such as the Chilean Constitution - change often. The significant changes to the Chilean Constitution have been frequent and fast,and they have accompanied the failed constitution-making processes of the previous years. Examples include crucial sub-constitutional statutes such as the electoral system regulation and same-sex marriage,political practices challenging the power of the president in the law-making process,constitutional rules such as term limits for legislators,judicial practices such as the enforcement of social rights and the amendment procedures of the Constitution itself. Despite the successful attempts at reforming the Constitution and the failed attempts at replacing it,Chileans are still trying to replace the constitutional document. However,the constitutional framework has become unstable,making it harder to agree on what exactly is wrong with it. This article seeks to open a conversation in the constitutional literature. It argues that constitutions can become moving targets and uses the Chilean case to show the need to theorize more about the moving target problem. © The Author(s),2023.
