| Sumario: | This article studies the arguments on federalism defended by Florentino González between 1827 and 1858. Initially, the colombian constitutionalist accepted the premises of the science of legislation, according to which the efficacy of laws depends on their conformity with the physical and moral characteristics of the people who receive them. He considered that the people of Nueva Granada lacked the necessary characteristics to adopt federalism and, consequently, recommended gradual decentralisation. However, in 1852-1853 he refuted such premises, arguing that the efficacy of laws is intrinsic and depends on their conformity with individual liberty and popular sovereignty. This conviction enabled him to formulate drafts of a federal constitution, distancing himself from Tocqueville and the American example. |
