The struggles for a sovereign Constituent. The summons of the Constituent Assembly in 1985: scope and limits. The 1986 elections. The Constituent's trajectory: internal organization, participation of lobbies and popular mobilization. The 1988 Constitution: democratic innovations and dictatorship legacies. Social and democratic citizenship X centralization of power and military tutelage. The hybrid character of the new Constitution and its correspondence with the “transitional and transactional” transition process. The incidence of nationalist-statist political culture.
