While officialdom ceded to the second debate did not define "social function of property" in the new Constitution, several sectors of the minority questioned an alleged conditioning of the security and respect for private property, excluding intellectual property and the valuation of property to expropriation.

Maria Paula Romo (PAIS) said that the ban should be able to negotiate intellectual property ancestral peoples of Ecuador.
Sofia Espín, also of officialdom, commented that must be corrected from the body so as not to repeat what happened with the dam-Peripa Daule, where 20 thousand people were evicted when the area was flooded, 33 thousand hectares were affected and up today they are not paid to farmers affected, he mentioned Espín.
After discussion, the president Alberto Acosta (PAIS) insisted that "not affect private property, I do not know what part of no, do not understand" and that there are several types of properties, because there are different ways of doing economy.
