Abstract

In a comparative key, the processes of constitutional reform in the provinces of Santa Fe (1921) and Córdoba (1923) are addressed. The nuances that went through the period of (supposed) liberal hegemony in Argentina between 1880 and 1930 are reconstructed to account for continuities and ruptures in the constitutional texts, a point of intersection between the legal and the political. At this intersection, the historicity of secularism and its thresholds are recognized through the analysis of the articulations between State, religion and society put into play in the conventions. The weak and transactional nature of liberalism is thus made visible.
