En este artículo, el autor defiende el derecho a decidir, concretado así: un referéndum sobre el futuro de Cataluña no está prohibido en la Constitución española. Esta tesis se sustenta en que tanto el principio de indisolubilidad (art. 2.1. CE) como el de la soberanía nacional (art. 1.2. CE) deben ponderarse adecuadamente con los principios definitorios de una democracia liberal (arts. 1.1., 23.1, 9 y 10 CE). Desde esta perspectiva, el trabajo ofrece razones para justificar dos cuestiones importantes: 1) la posibilidad de realizar un referéndum sobre la independencia de Cataluña, teniendo en cuenta una interpretación evolutiva de los derechos democráticos vinculados a una concepción densa de la democracia; 2) la posibilidad de que esa consulta tenga como sujetos a los catalanes, con el fin de evitar pasar del principio de la mayoría al dominio de la mayoría.Palabras clave: Legalidad, legitimidad, principios, democracia, derecho a decidir, Constitución.Abstract: In this article, the author defends the right to decide, meaning that holding a referendum on the political future of Catalonia is not banned by the Spanish Constitution (SC). The principal reason cited is that the principle of indissolubility (section 2.1 of the SC) and the principle of national sovereignty (section 1.2 SC) should be adequately balanced with the principles of liberal democracy (as defined in sections 1.1., 23.1., 9 and 10 of the SC). In light of this perspective, the article provides justification for two main aspects: 1) holding a referendum on Catalonia's independence on the grounds of an evolutive interpretation of democratic rights linked to a dense conception of democracy; and 2) holding a referendum exclusively in Catalonia, in order to avoid shifting from the principle of the majority to the dominion of the majorities.
