description In 1910 in Colombia a constitutional reform took place. It was promulgated through Legislative Act 03 and its aim was to strengthen the development of democracy, as a strategy for mediating the bipartisan conflict that Colombian society had been living through since the XIX century. Therefore, governments needed to be legitimated periodically and systematically through the ballot box. Although the elections were not enough to define a democratic political system,  they were associated with the expression of representative democracy. The objective of this work is to analyze in what way the constitutional reform was intended to introduce an electoral system that would allow the elites to solve the problems of governability and representation, without significantly expanding the number of voters. The study of the elections is mainly carried as from political history, which allows for the analysis of how the constitutional reform was a strategy of the elites to reorganize the political and economic context after the thousand-day war (1898-1902), and thus avoid the development of a new conflict. Through the constitutional reform, representative democracy, centered on elections as a mechanism for legitimating power, was called for, and a new form of electoral organization was established which had its center in the capital of the country and from there links were made to the processes carried out in the departments and municipalities.

El objetivo del texto es analizar de qué manerala reforma constitucional pretendió instaurar un sistema electoral que le permitiera a las élites solucionar el problema de la gobernabilidad y de la representación, sin ampliar significativamente el universo de los votantes. El estudio de las elecciones se efectúa principalmente desde la historia política, que permite analizar cómo la reforma constitucional fue una estrategia de las élites para reorganizar el espacio político y económico, con posterioridad a la aguerra de los mil días (1898 – 1902) y así evitar el desarrollo de otro conflicto. A través de la reforma constitucional se reivindicó la democracia representativa centrada en las elecciones como mecanismo de legitimación del poder, se instauró una forma de organización electoral que tenía su núcleo central en la capital del país y desde allí se establecieron nexos con los procesos efectuados en los departamentos y municipios.En 1910 la Colombie a entrepris une réforme constitutionnelle, promulguée à travers l’acte législatif 03, dont le but était d’affermir le développement de la démocratie et d’amortir ainsi les disputes partisanes subies par la société du pays depuis le XIXe siècle. Même si le déroulement des élections ne sufit pas pour déinir un régime comme démocratique, les gouvernements colombiens ont cherché systématiquement à être légitimés à travers le suffrage. Notre objectif est d’analyser comment la réforme constitutionnelle s’est proposée d’instaurer un système électoral permettant aux élites de résoudre les problèmes de la gouvernabilité et de la représentation sans pour autant élargir en forme signiicative le nombre de votants. Nous étudions les élections à partir de l’histoire politique ain de comprendre comment la réforme constitutionnelle a été une stratégie des élites pour réorganiser l’espace politique et économique au lendemain de la guerre dite des Mille Jours (1898-1902) et empêcher ainsi l’éclat de nouveaux conlits. La réforme constitutionnelle a permis de revendiquer la démocratie et la place centrale tenue par les élections dans ce système en tant que mécanisme de légitimation du pouvoir. Elle a instauré également une organisation électorale dont le centre était la capitale du pays et à partir de laquelle se sont établis des liens avec les départements et les communes.application/pdfapplication/xmlengspaUniversidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombiahttps://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/historia_memoria/article/view/5817/4811https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/historia_memoria/article/view/5817/6465Derechos de autor 2017 Historia Y MEMORIAhttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Historia Y Memoria; No. 14 (2017): Elections and political culture in Latin America; 97-126Historia Y Memoria; Núm. 14 (2017): Enero-Junio 2017.
