**14. Legislative obligation**

The aforementioned Article 5 imposes on the legislative power the duty to adopt legislative measures to make effective the rights recognized and guaranteed in the international treaties incorporated in the Constitution, since many of these rights, particularly those recognized in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, require the adoption of legislative and other measures to make them effective. The current Constitution in Chile is inspired by a doctrine that seeks to subtract social power from the State, accentuating its subsidiary role and leaving social rights as mere declarations without constitutional guarantee, in addition without organic or functional relationship with democracy.
