Abstract
In the mid-XIX century (1849 and 1854), the New Granada society underwent a series of
transformations that gave shape to a new political and social structure. This process, known by
historiography as the mid-century liberal reforms, has been understood from the
transformations of the productive and fiscal structure of the republic. Intellectual history allows
for this process to be read in terms of the political, center point from which the institution of
political community comes, and for which the problematic knot went through the redefinition
of the people as a bearer of sovereignty. This meant that the republic was heading to a
constituent moment in which a heterogeneous set of players declared themselves as the
sovereign people and proposed to constitute themselves.
This constituent intention was marked by the time’s accelerated growth of intellectual context
through the use of concepts such as revolution, which aided in the political change. By
understanding their own experience as a revolution, the reformists drew a line of continuity
between what happened in the middle of the century and the experience of independence,
valued as an unfulfilled promise. Ending the 1810 revolution became the main objective for
those who demanded reforms, who thought that this would end the instability threatening the
republic. The adopted formula for this purpose was the democratic Republic supported by
individual sovereignty and universal suffrage. The testing of this political option demonstrated
its precariousness in building consensus and it was impugned by part of the sovereign people
who did not feel represented in the institution of the new order.
