The conclusion is that the community has the right to participate in running the Government as well as becoming a member of the House of Representatives through elections, but its rights must also be accompanied by a series of obligations that must be carried out with the main goal of public welfare in general, not the community members and groups. partisans of the political parties which are its aegis.
