Constituent Power, Crisis of Oligarchic State: Chile, 1910-1925

Abstract

The present article approaches from a historical and political perspective to the conformation of the constituent power that elaborated the Political Constitution of 1925, during the crisis of the oligarchic State in Chile between 1910 and 1925. We state that the Constitution, in that context, was an authoritarian imposition, managed by part of the constituted power which transformed into a spurious constituent power, in order to prevent the democratic, pluralist genesis and participation in the new political order, through the realization of a National Constituent Assembly. Though various social and political sectors demanded that Assembly. Therefore, it excluded, in this way, the popular constituent power.
