Abstract
For some years, Chile has been going through a special period. The need to change the current constitution of Chile is heard in different areas, understanding that, as a positive law, it must adapt to the social changes experienced by our country. The demand for constitutional change has gone beyond the traditional limits of the organizations dedicated to the political sphere and has also generated massive popular movements that, in different occasions and circumstances, have raised the need to have a new constitutional order where their claims may have a legitimate place.
The contribution of Professor Dr. Marcelo Neves to the sociology of law is so broad and relevant that we have chosen to refer to only one of the many areas to which he has devoted his attention.

The habeas corpus was enshrined in Article 21 of the 1980 Constitution, but—according to a jurist—by not demanding it, the courts simply followed a practice prior to the 1973 coup d’état. Already at the time of the Constitution of 1925, “the Supreme Court completely abandons its protective role (sic) of personal liberty, being particularly serious the rejection of habeas corpus directed against orders of deprivation of liberty coming from the own ministerial authority. In this sense, the practice of the courts after the coup d’état of 1973 represents a continuity with the preceding evolution”. Aldunate Lizana (2007).
