Abstract

The essay explores the reception of the Weimar Constitution in South America in the 1920s and 1930s. After some general and comparative remarks on the South American case, the article identifies certain milestones for understanding the particularities of the constitution’s reception by South American scholars, notably through the analysis of the first translations and early commentaries on the German Constitution of 1919. In a final section, it examines the normative reception proper, focusing on the Brazilian constituent debate and the 1934 Constitution.
