Abstract

This paper analyzes the intellectual biography of the Colombian Florentino González and his Lectures on Constitutional Law at the University of Buenos Aires, between 1869 and 1874. It aims to explain one of the many ways in which the translation and critical adaptation of US Constitutional Law took place in Argentina. It also examines the dissemination of the Lectures in other south American countries during those years, combining a historical analysis located in a national case, with a focus on transnational interconnections.
