About paper sheets and factors: historical and political analysis of nineteenth century liberal project

Abstract

Nineteenth century Liberal project looked forward to instituting federal system as Republic’s. However, since its beginning there was divergence between the positive and the real Constitution. By means of Ferdinand Lasalle’s constitutional theory is possible to conduct an analysis that indicates how and why second one’s predominance over the first one was a reason to the Liberal project collapse. On that basis, this analysis is carried out to prove the thesis, throughout a short nineteenth century Colombian history walkthrough and its national constitutions, starting on Angostura Fundamental Law in 1819 until United States of Colombia’s collapse in 1886.
