Abstract

Argentina's Constitution of 1949, which sanctioned the consolidation of Peronism in power, assumed a set of politics and rights in social and economic matters. This process was conducted in a complex context, that touch the old debate about the sanctity of the Constitution of 1853, and the discussion about the nature of social and political regime that was being established at that time, and thus, the type of opposition that was claimed. Our essay aims to study in comparative way, three characteristics of legal discourses of that juncture: the nationalist, the socialist and the peronist, in order to determine the scope and the specificity of the first Argentine "social constitutionalism".
