Book summary:

The Jurists from the Independence

The overnight appearance of an independent Constitutional State where there was only a Viceroyalty, a Royal Governor or only a Royal Court, is one of the most amazing political processes of Western history.  Mexico, Guatemala, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil ..., each and every one of the Spanish-American States will begin an inedited journey during the first half of the nineteenth century.  Multiracial colonial societies decided, after brief revolutionary processes, to build nations composed by free and equal citizens.  How could this be possible? Or a better-formulated question: Was that really so? Answering that question and make it through the work that lawyers and jurists held in the construction of each of the Latin American states is the objective of this book. A book written in each chapter, by the best specialist in each of the Countries of what is now a reality: all Latin American Nations.” (Free translation of the web page summary).
