  • For example, the 1980 Constitution defines property, social and welfare rights and responsibilities in libertarian terms, separates political participation from a more legitimate social participation and so forth. See Chapter Four of Taylor, Citizenship, Participation and Democracy, for a complete discus-sion of the infusion of neoliberal values into the Chilean Constitution.
