GALLUCCI, Lisandro. La autonomía en dilemas. El federalismo y los Territorios Nacionales en el derecho constitucional argentino (1870-1920). Bol. Inst. Hist. Argent. Am.

The article offers an analysis of the ways in which a group of relevant experts of Argentine constitutional law between 1870 and 1920 conceived the place of the National Territories in the federal regime enshrined in the Constitution of 1853. The difficulties derived from the transformation of the provincial autonomies and their new relationship with the nation state are analyzed. It is also intended to shed light on important aspects scarcely attended by the historiography related to the Argentine federalism of that period, such as the legal-political condition of the provinces and the foundations of their autonomy. The results of these debates suggest the existence of a federal regime that is more resistant to centralist tendencies than is generally supposed.

Keywords : Argentina; Federalism; Autonomy; Constitutional Law; National Territories.
