Abstract	Resumen El objeto de las presentes consideraciones es mostrarla forma como el principio de la representacion proporcional, tambien llamado de la representacionproporcional de las minorias, se incorpora a nuestro ordenamiento legal y constitucional para determinarla composicion de los organos deliberantes del sector publico –con especial referencia a la eleccion delos integrantes de la Camara de Diputados y de la Asamblea Nacional, segun el caso; como ese principio llego a convertirse en una norma fundamental en el funcionamiento del sistema politico; la manera como se interpreto el principio para perfeccionar la proporcionalidad de la representacion partidista, para concluir con las tendencias recientes hacia la progresiva perdida de su importancia, sobre todo a partir de la vigencia de la Constitucion de 1999, en la que, paradojicamente, se le consagra en forma reiterada, como nunca se habia hecho antes. The rise and fall of the proportional representation principle in Venezuelan electoral law Abstract The purpose of these considerations is to convey how the proportional representation principle, also known as the proportional representation of minorities, is set forth in our legal and constitutional provisions to determine the composition of deliberating bodies of the public sector, specifically with regards to election of members of the Chamber of Representatives and of the National Assembly, as the case may be; how this principle became a fundamental standard in our political system; andhow this principle was interpreted to enhance the proportionality of party representation. This essay concludes with an analysis of current trends denoting its progressive loss of importance, especially after the enactment of the Constitution of 1999, which oddly enough repeatedly makes reference to this principle like never before.
