Abstract
In Mexico, Social Rights have had different legal natures since its inclusion in the Constitution of Querétaro. Moreover, the understanding of the Social Rights did not represent a major problem-especially economic-for Mexican Government, because those clauses were not considered as personal rights. Thus, the Constituent was able to add several social clauses seeking fundamentally the Government's legitimization. Understanding the development of Social Rights' legal nature is crucial to comprehend the "paradigm shift" (a totally normative vision of the Constitution) brought in 2011 by the Constitutional Amendment. © 2018 Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
