Resumen
El presente estudio examina la posibilidad de que el Tribunal Constitucional declare inconstitucionales y nulos preceptos de disposiciones generales de rango inferior a la ley en el marco de los recursos de amparo entablados contra sus actos de aplicación, en aquellos supuestos en que tales preceptos sean contrarios a los derechos fundamentales y se identifiquen como origen de su lesión. Se sostiene la tesis de que dicho modo de proceder no solo es posible, sino que resulta el más coherente con la configuración del recurso de amparo —especialmente tras la reforma operada en él por la Ley Orgánica 6/2007, de 24 de mayo—, sin que se adviertan argumentos que justifiquen suficientemente que el amparo indirecto contra reglamentos sea, respecto de la norma controvertida y como regla general, de mera inaplicación.

Abstract
This study examines whether the Spanish Constitutional Court can declare regulations unconstitutional and void in the context of appeals for protection of fundamental rights lodged against administrative or judicial decisions applying them, whenever such regulations are found contrary to fundamental rights and are the cause of the infringement thereof. It is argued that this course of action is not only
possible, but also the most consistent with the nature of the appeal for constitutional protection of fundamental rights −especially following the reform introduced by Organic Law 6/2007 of 24 May−, there being no convincing reasons to justify that these kind of appeals lead only to the mere disapplication of the contested regulation in the specific case.
