Abstract

Abstract: In this article, we discuss the character of the Paraguayan State in the mid-19th century, tracing its administrative and socio-cultural policies through State regulations, court cases and demographic data. High numbers of illegitimate children and female-headed households do not, on the other hand, contradict the patriarchal character of Paraguayan family structures and society. Keywords: Paraguay, State, Church, gender, family, public morals. 1. La independencia empezó, como las de las otras repúblicas sudamericanas, con la invasión napoleónica de la penín-sula ibérica y la deposición del rey Fernando VII, que indujeron a la instalación de una Junta Gobernativa en la península ibérica, y de otra en la capital del virreina-to del Río de la Plata en Buenos Aires.
