Abstract

This article has two parts. On the first part, there is a critique of administrative law institutions, on the light of liberal principles such as the rule of law (political sphere) and the mínimum State (economic sphere), in order to put into context the general problem of the judicial protection of rights and guarantees against public Administration. The second part shows the status of the debate on the administrative state in the US –i. e. on the government bodies and agencies which seem to have gone beyond the original framework of the Constitution, reaching the point of affecting individuals' rights and guarantees. The American case is shown as an example to also analize the current situation of administrative justice in Spain, where it has not been possible to establish legally an authentic trial to confront public Administration’s actions and omissions, verifying that both in the US and Spain, the problem still is the existence –both at administrative and judicial levels– of prerrogatives in favor of public Administration. Finally, the autor foresees the possible impact in Spain of the current US debate on the administrative state.
