MOREA, Alejandro Hernán. José Antonio Moldes and the Impossibility of Political Dissidence in Rio de la Plata: 1816-1820. Secuencia [online]. 2024, n.118, e2097.  Epub 02-Feb-2024. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i118.2097.

In 1816, José Antonio Moldes had been elected congressman for the Constituent Congress held in the city of San Miguel de Tucuman to organize the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata. He was unable to take up the position because another congressman with different political views had filed an accusation against him. A legal case was brought against him, he was dismissed from his post and subsequently imprisoned. This article seeks to examine how political differences were resolved within the revolutionary bloc in the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata between 1816 and 1820. To this end, we will examine what happened in other American spaces, to link what happened in Rio de la Plata to other revolutionary processes. We will also explore what happened in that political community in previous years to attempt to determine whether, after 1816, political coexistence deteriorated and the ways these political tensions were resolved became more violent.

Palabras llave : political dissidence; United Provinces of Rio de la Plata; centralism; federalism; Moldes.
