Abstract

The article explores a new historiographic perspective on the 1818 Chilean Constitution, promulgated by Bernardo O'Higgins. It dwells on his political ideas, his constitutional ideology, as well as his constitutional practice while offering a comparative analysis with the previous Chilean constitutional documents (1812 and 1822), hoping to contribute to the debate on Chilean 19th century constitutionalism from a new perspective.
