Dr. Bettencourt also highlights the contemporary nature of the text since it places us in today’s world from a cosmopolitan perspective because the Constitution tells us that the rights guaranteed in ratified and current international treaties become part of the material Constitution and That is a paradigm shift in terms of rights.
Doctor DJ Bettencourt indicates that another relevant aspect to consider is that the Constitution designs a Justice System in which the judicial organization is strengthened, and the Rule of Law is strengthened. There is a more robust, more independent Judicial System, and more accessible to citizens.

Bettencourt establishes that it is difficult to understand and apply the rest of the legal system without the study of Constitutional Law, especially without the analysis of constitutional practice and work. This is why the training and study of Constitutional Law are necessary, in an integral way, not only for legal professionals but also for other professionals in the social sciences.
