Resumen

AGUERRE, María Luisa. Confederation: a Key Idea of Artigas’ "system". Rev. Fac. Der. [online]. 2015, n.38, pp.1-44.  Epub 01-Dic-2019. ISSN 0797-8316.

The books of Prof. Arturo Ardao dedicated to Confederacy as one of the fundamental aspects of Artigas´s ideology have triggered the analysis, from a political point of view, of Artigas´s texts, and those of some of his followers who supported his “system” (as Artigas, in his letters, called the institutional form he was hoping to introduce during the revolutionary process in the territories of the Río de la Plata). That system was directed to the achievement of sovereignty and independence for the Eastern Province (Provincia Oriental) within the framework of confederal agreements similar to those that had led in the United States to the Confederation and Perpetual Union of 1781. Against the opinion of many historians, publicists and jurists who postulate that Artigas’ ideas were of a federalist persuasion, we will argue, through a brief review of some basic fundamental documents, that he adhered to a confederal system.

Palabras clave : Artigas; Confederation; Independence; Federalism; Rio se la Plata.
