  • Ecuador and Liberato
    524 The Emperor countries - a situation which in many endured until the last third or so of the twentieth century, effectively frustrating their political evolution. In the United States it was from the outset the middle classes who seized power and vigorously pursued their agenda of economic develop­ ment and commercial expansion. The American Revolution was truly a revolutionary movement, while the Latin American wars of independ­ ence were largely aristocratic assertions of self-interest against the mother country. The caudillos and the demagogues pursued their own Chronology interests, sometimes brutally, sometimes in an enlightened way, power alternating between the two all too often, and both based on the cult of personality. As economic growth and the expansion of the middle class have at last occurred in the course of the last third of the twentieth Birth of Francisco de Miranda in Caracas century, it has become possible to suggest that the era of extremes has 1750 1759 Accession of Charles III of Spain , passed.

  • The Rites of Statehood: Violence and Sovereignty in Spanish America, 1789-1821 Jeremy Adelman Princeton University in Gabriel Ga
    1 The Rites of Statehood: Violence and Sovereignty in Spanish America, 1789-1821 Jeremy Adelman Princeton University In Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel, The General in his Labyrinth, a long-winded Frenchman lectures a pensive, dying Simon Bolivar. The Liberator responds. He acknowledges that the revolution unleashed the furies of avenging justice, and laments, without repudiating, his decision to order the execution of eight hundred Spanish prisoners in a single day, including pa.ti~nts in La Guaira' s moral authority to reproach me, for if any history is drowned in blood, indignity, and injustice, it is the history of Europe." When the Frenchman tries to interrupt, Bolivar puts down his cutlery \ and glares at his guest. "Damn it, please let us have our Middle Ages in peace!" he exclaimed. 1 These, of course, were Garc,a Marquez's words, not Bolivar's. But they echo Bolivar's requiem on the events he shaped about the relationship between savagery and state-formation. More than lofty proclamations or principle's of statehood, the historical memory of the years leading to 1821 are saturated with blood. For the chroniclers and epic writers, from Jose Manuel, Restrepo's (1827) Historia de la Revolucion de Colombi~ to Garcia Marquez, the scenes of violence and carnage gave rise to narratives of sacrifice and struggle that could not be wholly redeemed by what came after. And yet, we have not thought very systematically about the significance of political violence in Latin America - despite its recurrence. Perhaps it is because of its recurrence: for so many, the cruelty was sown into a ''tradition'' of conquest and 1 Gabriel Garda Marquez, The General in His Labyrinth (New York: Knopf, 1990), p.

  • El Rey Ante El Tribunal De La Revolución: Nueva Granada 1808-1819*
    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15446/hys.n31.55457 El rey ante el tribunal de la revolución: Nueva Granada 1808-1819* Isidro Vanegas Useche** Resumen El rey fue un actor central de las conmociones revolucionarias modernas. También lo fue en la Revolución neogranadina de la década de 1810, que vio cómo pasó de ser el núcleo del orden en su calidad de detentador y garante del poder y la autoridad, a convertirse en una figura desdeñada que fue sustituida por otro tipo de soberano. Este artículo explora el lugar del monarca en tres momentos claramente diferencia- dos de la conmoción revolucionaria, buscando comprender el itinerario del distancia- miento, los dilemas que hubo en juego y las implicaciones de aquella gran innovación. Palabras clave: rey, revolución, Nueva Granada. The king before the revolution: New Granada 1808-1819 Abstract The king was a central actor in the modern revolutions. He also was in the New Gre- nada Revolution of the 1810’s, during which the king went from being the center of the order as holder and guarantor of power and authority, to be a despised figure that was replaced by another kind of sovereign. This article explores the place of the monarch in three distinct moments of revolutionary upheaval, seeking to understand the way of detachment, the dilemmas that was in play and the implications of this great innovation. Key words: king, revolution, New Grenada. * Artículo recibido el 29 de enero de 2016 y aprobado el 18 de febrero de 2016. Artículo de investigación. ** Doctor en Historia.

  • The Vice President in the U.S. Senate: Examining the Consequences of Institutional Design
    The Vice President in the U.S. Senate: Examining the Consequences of Institutional Design. Michael S. Lynch Tony Madonna Asssistant Professor Assistant Professor University of Kansas University of Georgia [email protected] [email protected] January 25, 2010∗ ∗The authors would like to thank Scott H. Ainsworth, Stanley Bach, Ryan Bakker, Sarah A. Binder, Jamie L. Carson, Michael H. Crespin, Keith L. Dougherty, Trey Hood, Andrew Martin, Ryan J. Owens and Steven S. Smith for comments on earlier drafts of this manuscript. Madonna also thanks the University of Georgia American Political Development working group for support and comments, and Rachel Snyder for helpful research assistance. All errors remain the authors. Abstract The constitutional designation of the vice president as the president of the United States Senate is a unique feature of the chamber. It places control over the Senate's rules and precedents under an individual who is not elected by the chamber and receives no direct benefits from the maintenance of its institutions. We argue that this feature of the Senate has played an important, recurring role in its development. The vice president has frequently acted in a manner that conflicted with the wishes chamber majorities. Consequently, the Senate has developed rules and precedents that insulate the chamber from its presiding officer. These actions have made the Senate a less efficient chamber, but have largely freed it from the potential influence of the executive branch. We examine these arguments using a mix of historical and contemporary case studies, as well as empirical data on contentious rulings on questions of order.

Boston College Department of History Framing Revolution: Simón Bolívar’s Rhetoric and Reason An Undergraduate Honors Thesis By James Newhouse The Honors Program April 2015 Thesis Advisor: Professor Sylvia Sellers-García Acknowledgements When I submitted my Thesis proposal last spring, I could not have imagined how much help I would receive along the way. Given space constraints, I will not be able to call out every individual that has helped me along this process. Despite that, there are a few people that I will single out. Without them this thesis would not have existed. First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Professor Sylvia Sellers-García. My love for and interest in South American historical texts began in her Travelers in Latin America class. Since that time, I have consistently relied on her for information, advice, and good conversation. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance over the past year, as well as her constant willingness to meet with me and discuss my progress. I am also very grateful to the Boston College academic community and the History department as a whole. Professor Penelope Ismay provided an encouraging and at times calming perspective during the fall semester. Research librarian Elliott Brandow always knew where to find the source for which I was looking, no matter how obscure it was.
