Background The Congress of Plenipotentiaries had been established on 12 February 1830, as conservative forces consolidated their position following the Chilean Civil War of 1829–1830. It continued to exercise legislative functions until 25 May 1831, when its permanent commission ceased to operate in preparation for the new bicameral Congress.https://www.bcn.cl/historiapolitica/efemerides/index.html?dia=27&mes=Febrero Instalación del Congreso de Plenipotenciarios Library of the National Congress of Chile 8 October 2026 eshttps://www.bcn.cl/historiapolitica/resenas_parlamentarias/wiki/Fernando_De_Err%C3%A1zuriz_Aldunate Fernando de Errázuriz Aldunate Library of the National Congress of Chile 8 October 2026 es The 1828 Constitution established a bicameral legislature. The Chamber of Deputies was to be elected directly, while senators were chosen by the provincial assemblies, at a rate of two senators per province. The electoral law of 25 November 1830 established the procedures for both direct and indirect elections and required provincial assemblies to elect senators. Election The election was held on 26 May 1831. The newly elected legislators began holding preparatory sessions immediately afterward, while the Congress was formally inaugurated on 1 June. At its opening, the new legislature consisted of 13 senators and 38 deputies.https://www.bibliotecanacional.gob.cl/sites/www.bibliotecanacional.gob.cl/files/2022-08/Historia%20General%20de%20Chile%20Tomo%20XVI.pdf Historia general de Chile, tomo XVI Barros Arana Diego National Library of Chile 1902 58 8 October 2026 es The election took place after the defeat of the liberal forces in the civil war and amid the consolidation of the conservative government. Liberal groups largely abstained from participating. According to historian Diego Barros Arana, the resulting legislature was composed almost entirely of legislators aligned with the new government, although seven deputies, including both titular and substitute members, elected in several departments of Coquimbo Province were regarded as opposed to the new political order. Aftermath The new Congress replaced the Congress of Plenipotentiaries and restored the bicameral legislature established by the 1828 Constitution. Its formation marked the return of a constitutional Congress after the extraordinary legislative arrangements adopted during the political crisis of 1829–1830. The legislature subsequently participated in the process that led to the replacement of the 1828 constitutional framework by the Constitution of 1833. In October 1831, Congress authorized the convocation of a Gran Convención to reform or amend the 1828 Constitution, which ultimately produced the 1833 Constitution.https://www.bcn.cl/leychile/navegar?idNorma=1063899 Constitución de la República: reforma de la Constitución de 1828 1 October 1831 Library of the National Congress of Chile 8 October 2026 es References Category:Parliamentary elections in Chile Category:1831 elections in South America Category:1831 in Chile
