Since 2018, Mexico is passing through a radical process of political transformation. This article explores how the new power elite has predicated its particular perspectives on constitutional change. Through the focal lenses of Bruce Ackerman’s influential theory on contemporary paths to constitutionalism, it examines the new cycle of political and constitutional transformation promoted by the new government and is put into test to ascertain if its narrative resembles the patterns of revolutionary constitutionalism or, to the contrary, is more in tune with preservationist strategies for constitutional change that the article portrays as regression through transformation.

Palabras llave : constitutional change; political transformations; regression through transformation; constitutional dualism.
