    JACINTO ROMARATE: EL ÚLTIMO E INvICTO DEfENSOR ESPAÑOL DEL PLATA Agustín Ramón RODRÍGUEZ GONZÁLEZ Miembro Distinguido del Instituto Nacional Browniano de la República Argentina HORA que se acerca el bicentenario de unos hechos tan poco recordados en España, y sin embargo tan decisivos para la Historia mundial, como fueron los de la emanci- pación americana, creemos oportuno recordar aquí la figura de un gran marino español injustamente olvidado en su propia patria y algo más tenido en cuenta en las tierras y mares que fueron testigos directos de su valor, tenacidad y pericia. Nacimiento y primeros años El 12 de febrero de 1775 nacía en Sodupe (vizcaya) un niño, hijo de Manuel José de Romarate y de Nicolasa de Salamanca, al que se puso por nombre Jacinto. De familia hidalga y acomodada, el joven sentaba plaza de guardia marina de la Real Armada el 29 de mayo de 1792, en el Departamento de ferrol. Como tal, embarcó en el gran navío de tres puentes Reina Luisa, insignia del almirante Lángara en la campaña de Tolón contra la Convención francesa, asistiendo a los avatares de la larga y dura campaña y del famoso asedio. En medio de ellos, el 30 de octubre de 1793 ascendía a alférez de fragata. A continuación embarcó en diversos buques en operaciones por el Mediterráneo, como en el navío Mexicano de 112 cañones, el Monarca de 74, las fragatas Dorotea y Mahonesa, la corbeta San gil y el bergantín Tártaro. Con alguna lentitud, el ascenso a alférez de navío se demoró hasta el 5 de octubre de 1802, constando que mandó hasta julio de 1804 la jábega cañonera Núm.

A specific iconography and plans for commemorative monuments seen as a useful means to encourage support for the national project were developed. The political powers located in the capital, Buenos Aires, systematised a model for the transmission of identity based on the ideas and discourses of prominent theorists of nationalism, such as Joaquín V.

  • Sub-National Constitutionalism in Argentina. an Overview by Ricardo Ramírez Calvo ∗

An Overview by Ricardo Ramírez Calvo ∗ Perspectives on Federalism, Vol. 4, issue 2, 2012 Except where otherwise noted content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons 2.5 Italy License E - 59 Abstract Argentine federalism and sub-national constitutionalism is a very interesting case study for anybody trying to establish a federal system in any country around the world. Not because of its success, but precisely because of its failure. A federation on paper, Argentina is a highly centralized country, in which economic dependence of the Provinces from the central government has destroyed any kind of autonomy of the sub-national entities. This articles aims to investigate the most important features and contradictions of the Argentinean federalism Key-words Argentina, federalism, subnational constitutionalism Except where otherwise noted content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons 2.5 Italy License E - 60 1. Historical Background Argentina has one of the oldest federal systems in the world. The original framework was established in the Constitution in 1853. Although the Constitution has been amended 5 times I, the basic structure adopted in the original Constitution remains unaltered. It was created as a sort of compromise between two opposing forces that had fought a long civil war: the centralists or unitarios and the federalists or federales . The tension between both forces surfaced almost at the very beginning of our independent life, when the country cut its ties with Spain on May 25, 1810 II . The old Spanish colonial administration was highly centralized.
