| Sumario: | This article reconsiders two legislative projects of presidents Roberto Ortiz and Ramón Castillo about political parties’ organization and electoral reform in late 1930s and early 1940s. We claim that these bills –the most important political initiatives of both presidents– responded to a series of recurrent institutional problems in the public debate after 1912-1916’ democratization. The article also seeks to reexamine traditional historiographical interpretations about both presidents and it also pursues to reevaluate them through new contributions of Political History. Particularly, we try to analyze how these two projects of political reform –although they were not discussed or sanctioned– were oriented to resolve and regulate political parties and partisan practices. Therefore, they were linked to the legal corpus created two decades before by President Roque Sáenz Peña. |
