Sumario:The monarchist proposal was one of the alternatives discussed, both in the press and in the sessions of the congress gathered in Tucuman, by the ruling elites of the Rio de la Plata to end the revolutionary bleeding and the restore political order. Nevertheless, it is a monarchy that should not thought as a turning back, quite the contrary, because condensed and expressed an important part of the mutations produced in the political languages resulting from the revolutionary and Independence experience.
