conclusion

In conclusion, we can infer that the right to resistance has fulfilled, fulfills and will fulfill a very important role in society since it has helped us from the beginning to defend the violations that have been made to our rights. In the right of resistance, other problems and political phenomena must also be taken into account at the present time and those that necessarily appear in the path of totalitarianism.

We have been able to observe how a constitutional state of rights and justice can be degenerated, despite the fact that in this type of State it is very important to guarantee the rights of individuals and communities, sometimes corruption and leaders for wanting to satisfy theirNeeds pollute this State and people do not allow this, therefore, they exercise their right to resistance so that they can be heard and above all, make the violation that is being done.

We can conclude that the right to resistance is very important for people since, if this right did not exist, there would be no way to limit the government when it exceeds the limits of their actions.
