Abstract

POLLITZER, María. Debates on the Parliamentary government in the Faculty of Law (1890-1920). Rev. hist. derecho [online]. 2020, n.59, pp.1-36. ISSN 1853-1784.

Since its beginnings, the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires was a forum for reflection and intellectual production, in which many political leaders and eminent public figures were trained. In its classrooms, teachers and students discussed Argentina's political and institutional challenges and explored alternatives reforms. This article focuses on one of the issues that attracted their attention around the turn of the century: the nature of the executive branch, its powers and, the way it should be linked to the legislative branch. In the first place, it studies the channels through which these issues were discussed, identifying the main interlocutors. Secondly, it examines the arguments presented by those who insisted on the desirability of establishing a parliamentary regime and by those who, with equal zeal, defended the superiority of the current regime.

Keywords : Parliamentarism; Faculty of Law and Social Sciences; Doctoral Thesis; Executive Power; Representative Government.
