    Constitutional interpretation and the application of precedents issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador hold a pivotal role in the practice of Ecuadorian law. Since the implementation of the 2008 Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, these topics have directly influenced the country's judicial activity. Moreover, there is a significant lack of understanding among ordinary constitutional judges and practicing lawyers regarding precedents in a strict sense, thereby undermining legal certainty. In light of this, the objective is to analyze the relationship between constitutional interpretation and the application of precedents issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador. To this end, a descriptive study is conducted using a qualitative methodology, positioning this research within the line of inquiry of “public policies, law, and society,” and addressing its impact on the stability and coherence of the Ecuadorian legal system. The analysis delves into significant cases from the Constitutional Court of Ecuador and gathers high-quality knowledge through interviews with highly recognized constitutional law experts in the country. Thus, the research explores the progress of constitutional interpretation in Ecuador and the risks of overstepping its limits. Additionally, constitutional precedent is defined, outlining its main characteristics, how it should be identified and applied, and ultimately emphasizing the importance of a precedentbased legal culture for the Ecuadorian legal system. Finally, the thesis concludes with recommendations to enhance the understanding of the interpretative role of the Constitutional Court and to strengthen the proper application of precedents
