Abstract

El 27 de enero de 1846, durante el gobierno de Mariano Paredes y Arrillaga, se expidió una Convocatoria que proponía un método electoral completamente original para elegir un congreso extraordinario: prescindir de la representación de individuos para privilegiar los intereses funcionales de clase. Ningún gobierno representativo moderno en el mundo había experimentado con un sistema similar. Este artículo analiza las particularidades de este sistema electoral, da cuenta de las elecciones que se llevaron a cabo y explora el comportamiento del congreso constituyente extraordinario que se instaló en junio de 1846 y sesionó hasta los primeros días de agosto del mismo año.

Alternate abstract:

On January 27th, 1846, during the government of Mariano Paredes y Arrillaga, a Call was issued proposing a completely original election method to elect an extraordinary congress: to do without individual representation in order to privilege functional class interests. Not one modern representative government in the world had tried a similar system. This essay analyzes the peculiarities of this election system, describes the elections that were held on the occasion, and explores the behavior of the extraordinary constitutional congress established in June 1846 and in session until the first days of August of the same year.
