| Sumario: | The hereby article approaches the Colombian state of siege of 1957 – 1978 from a historical and social-legal point of view, during the period well known as the “National Front”, which made it possible for the reestablishment of the constitutional regime after the facto government led by General Gustavo Rojas Pinilla. The main purpose of this research was to analytically identify the characteristics of the governors and state rational thinking that helped to support their declaration and on the other hand, supported the tensions with the classic concept of constitution, understood as a limit and control of the political power. The hermeneutic, his- torical and critical method were used to underlie the supported hypothesis, which revolves around the formation of a regime of exception that sought after democratic legitimation.
