La idea de unidad en tiempos del Congreso de 1816-1819

Este artículo se propone analizar el debate sobre la forma de gobierno que se dio en las sesiones del Congreso Constituyente y en la prensa porteña durante 1816, como así también la posterior discusión del proyecto de constitución. Estas polémicas dieron lugar a diversas posturas acerca del ejercicio de la soberanía -monarquía o república- como sobre la titularidad de la misma -pueblos/nación-. En ese marco mostraremos que los partidarios de la unidad intentaron establecerla mediante la implantación de una monarquía constitucional y la consagración de la nación única e indivisible como sujeto de imputación de la soberanía
