Yes, people do carry around their constitutions and people regularly refer to their constitutional rights. It's quite impressive. People seem to be well informed about those rights, and I agree that a number of people who were living in poverty now have greater access. They have greater access to education. There have been a number of government programs to give basic literacy all the way up to university education to people who did not previously have that access.
There's great value in educating a population and giving them their rights. I have seen less often situations where individuals who have tried to express these rights in disagreement with the government come out having their rights given to them, unfortunately. That's not to say it never happens. It's just to say that it doesn't happen as often as we would like to see as analysts.
It's true as well that many of these people living in poverty prior to the Chavez era did not have access to many of the political rights that they now enjoy. In fact, I think 15, 20, 50, 100 years down the road, people will still be referring to the changes that came about in Venezuela in the Chavez era. However, the cautionary note is that if a government is not speaking to the vast majority of the population, if it is not including the perspectives and coming to a compromise in light of what the population wants, you end up having a pendulum government.
So the next government that comes to power is at risk of eliminating all the institutions that were put in place. That is the good and the bad. That is why when Chavez came to power and sought to promote judicial reform in a system where there was not previously peer judicial independence, he had great support. There was support for change, but he lost that pivotal moment. When he was first elected in 1998, people really wanted this change. They backed this constitution. Now there are a lot of people who still think that the word of the constitution is good but that it's not being implemented the way it was intended to be.
