Despite the regular perception of the citizenship in order that the Constitutional Law would invariably refer to the text of the national Constitution -and, even, to the substantial body of judicial decisions that interpret it-, the constitutional operator could not neglect that the federal principle, as a method of division of powers by virtue of which it is enabled, under certain conditions, at the levels of general and local government to act within a coordinated and, at the same time, indepen-dent space, has far-reaching consequences in relation to the exercise of constitutional right to a dignified death.

Palabras clave : Medical treatment advanced directive - Right to withdraw life-sustaining equipment - Federalism - Distribution of powers.
