Abstract
El sistema electoral que se introdujo al territorio novohispano con la Carta gaditana de 1812 fue la base de la legislacióón electoral que rigióó en Mééxico al menos hasta 1835. Este trabajo analiza las formas históóricas concretas que adquirióó la prááctica electoral en la regióón azucarera de Cuernavaca y Cuautla de Amilpas (caracterizada por la tensióón entre pueblos y haciendas). Se trata de matizar la visióón historiográáfica que plantea una mejora sustancial de la vida de los pueblos a partir de la apertura políítica que significaron las elecciones gaditanas, mostrando cóómo existieron casos en que las éélites econóómicas regionales usaron los nuevos mecanismos polííticos para proteger sus intereses. The electoral system of the Constitution of Cáádiz (1812) was the foundation of Mexican electoral legislation until 1835. This article analyzes the concrete historical forms and electoral practices under this electoral law in the sugar-producing region of Cuernavaca and Cuautla de Amilpas, characterized by tensions between pueblos and haciendas. By showing several cases of the new political mechanisms used by the regional economic elite to protect their interests, the article challenges the claim that the ““political liberalization”” entailed in the electoral system of the Cáádiz Constitution meant a significant improvement in the political and socioeconomic situation of the pueblos of the region.
