Campesinos, jóvenes e inmigrantes: la ecuación liberal y revolucionaria chilena frente al Estado de Sitio en la <em>Carta a Francisco Bilbao</em> (1852) de Santiago Arcos

Abstract

This article analyzes Francisco Bilbao’s Letter to Francisco Bilbao (1852) by focusing on the constitutional aspect of his political platform, a liberal revolution conceived to dismantle social, economic and juridical inequalities in order to advance a democratization agenda, and the social construction of its historical protagonist, particularly in terms of the necessary alliance between peasants, youth and immigrants in mid-Nineteenth century Chile
