摘要:This article analyses the motives and strategies of the Bolivian popular sectors, mestizo craftsmen and indigenous peasants, aiming at achieving social existence as well as public and political presence in a restricted election regime (1826-1952). In order to be considered citizens, they did not ask for suffrage extension but demonstrated they had the qualities requested by a system of «learned» vote., making recourse both to the ambiguity of the law and to the dominant political rethoric which made education and citizanship inseparable.
