Abstract
This report, while on the subject of inadmission of amendment proposals to the reform of Section 135 of the Spanish Constitution, analyses the boundaries to the right to amend, particularly referred to constitutional reforms and with special attention to the recent decisions of the Constitutional Court on the amendments� relevancy to the bill they point at. The conclusion is that the inadmission of amendment proposals by the Bureau of the Congreso or the Senate is deemed fair, given that the limits of the right to amend had been overstepped. Other proposals could have been turned down, in accordance to the new decisions of the Constitutional Court.
