This book explores the influence of opposing constitutional ideals during the 'founding period' of constitutionalism in the Americas.

Críticas:

“Most notable for its broad comparative approach is Roberto Gargarella’s excellent study of evolving tensions between competing political projects in the nineteenth century and their impact on institutional arrangements that would affect inequality in later years...he presents a provocative and nuanced understanding of the evolution of inequality, showing that there were moments in which the institutional arrangements underpinning inequality came under challenge or were in flux in Latin America. In this, his book provides a welcome alternative to the widespread notion that inequality in the region is simply a persistent legacy of colonial times” -Roberto Patricio Korzeniewicz, University of Maryland, Latin American Research Review
