Say that there is a public morality in a liberal democracy is always controversial. The relationship between ethics and the State is problematical and in Colombia that debate has been present due to the mention of a “social morality” in the Political Constitution of 1991. This paper seeks to analyze what this concept means in the Colombian democracy through the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court. I will say that after dissimilar interpretations the perspective of the ethical liberalism has won, but it has the challenge of define clearly the foundations of public morality.
