IRUROZQUI, Marta. A resistir la conquista": Ciudadanos armados en la disputa partidaria por la revolución en Bolivia, 1839-1842. Bol. Inst. Hist. Argent. Am. Dr. Emilio Ravignani [online]. 2015, n.42, pp.60-91. ISSN 0524-9767.

This article analyzes whether political violence and constitutional legality were democratically compatible in Bolivia, during the period between "La Revolucion Conservadora" (1839) and "La Batalla de Ingavi" (1841). First of all, special attention will be paid to the public practice of the right to take up arms, and to the institutionalization of levels of authority through revolutionary actions. In addition, this article studies the principle of "armed citizenship" and its role in the dispute between the citizenship and the Army on a key question: the legitimate management and control of violence. On the other hand, this work explores political conflict over models of National State and the distribution of authority in order to examine political disputes around the "legitimacy of the revolutionary act".

Palavras-chave : Armed Citizenship; Constitutional Violence; Revolution; Democracy; State; Executive and Legislative Powers; Bolivia.
