- Abstract
Before the institutional crisis which broke out in Uruguay in 1933 and also prior to the approval of the constitution which held up the principle of freedom in education the following year, there had already been several attempts to install a state monopoly in this area. If any of the various proposals which were put forward had triumphed, a cultural constant deeply rooted in the country's traditions would have been broken. This did not happen; resistance was stubborn and derived from very different sectors of society, thus revealing the population's discriminating and permanent intuition in defense of the basic liberties. The final political-ideological "battle "-before the confirmation of the principle mentioned above-was staged in the House of Congress in 1932. The depth of the arguments wielded by the two main protagonists of the debate, D. Justino Zavala Muniz and Dr. Dardo Regules, as well as their oratorical style, makes this event an inescapable milestone in the history of ideas in Uruguay.
