Abstract
To what extent do conflicts over the content of local constitutions affect constitutional justice bodies? Taking Mexico as a case study, this works provides an answer to this question through the analysis of litigation regarding the content of subnational constitutions presented in the Mexican federal system through the two figures of constitutional control exclusive to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. Based on a systematization of records of actions of unconstitutionality and constitutional controversies filed in the period 1995-2015, a significant difference in the use of litigation is highlighted as the main finding. In the case of actions, litigation originated from federal actors and focused on electoral provisions, while in the case of disputes, it arose from local and municipal actors and focused on rules regulating access and the exercise of public resources, as well as how public officials should perform their functions.
