Note XIX-43 — Chapter XIX · DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS IN SALVADOR. 1865-1885.
Reading edition
The grounds for the convocation as stated were that the people had almost unanimously declared that some of the clauses of the constitution of 1880 were not suited to the national requirements. The Diario Oficial expressed the hope that the revision would give a more judicious application of the principles of a republican government, thus strengthening the public liberties without weakening the principle of authority.
