| description | The objective of this study is to analyze the institutional normativity and political dynamics of the province of Tucumán (Argentina) during the decade of 1870, in the context of the tensions derived from the conformation of the Argentine State. This study in the ield of political history is centered in the analysis of the electoral practices of clubs and committees in the province of Tucumán and their “condescending” relations with working class sectors, without ignoring the central role achieved by the provincial and national State as producer of electoral normativity, as well as a principal actor in the elections. Another aspect of the work involves exploring the functioning of the clubs and committees and their relation with working class sectors, which were generally veriied from a “top to bottom” perspective, through intermediaries(overseers, judges and campaign managers) in a relationship that political historiography has identiied as passive, and whose principal goal was improving the eficacy of previously constructed networks of patronage. These elements allow anappreciation of the way in which in 1870, the incoporation of the leadership of the province of Tucuman into the national political order allowed for the coniguration of a dynamic of institutional stability, founded on respect for constitutional norms that constituted the system´s main source of legitimacy. |

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la normativa institucional y la dinámica política de la provincia de Tucumán (Argentina) durante la década de 1870, en el marco de las tensiones derivadas de la conformación del Estado argentino. El artículo está centrado en el análisis de las prácticas electorales de los clubes y comités de la provinciade Tucumán y sus relaciones “hacia abajo” con los sectores populares, lo que no implica desconocer el rol central que desempeñó el Estado provincial y nacional, no sólo como productor de la normativa electoral, sino también como actor que participaba activamente en las elecciones. Otro aspecto del trabajo explora el funcionamiento de los clubes y comités y sus relaciones con los sectores populares, que generalmente se veriicaron de arriba hacia abajo, a través de intermediarios(capataces, jueces y comisarios de campaña), en una relación que la historiografía política ha caliicado como pasiva y cuyo principal propósito era mejorar la eicacia de las redes clientelares construidas. Estos aspectos nos permiten apreciar cómo en 1870 la incorporación de la dirigencia de la provincia de Tucumán a un orden político nacional permitió conigurar una dinámica de estabilidad institucional, fundada en el respeto de las normas constitucionales que constituyeron la fuente principal de legitimidad del sistema. L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser les normes et les processus politiques de la province de Tucumán (Argentine) pendant la décennie 1870, dans le cadre des tensions découlant de la conformation de l’État argentin. L’article est axé sur l’analyse des pratiques électorales des clubs et des comités de la province de Tucumán, ainsi que sur les relations que ceux-ci entretenaient avec les secteurs populaires, cequi n’implique pas la méconnaissance du rôle central qui a joué l’État provincial et national, non seulement comme producteur des règlements électoraux, mais aussi comme acteur dynamique des élections. Un autre aspect du travail consiste à explorer le fonctionnement des clubs et des comités et leurs relations avec les secteurs populaires à travers des intermédiaires (contremaîtres, juges et commissaires decampagne), dans une relation qualiié par l’historiographie politique comme passive et dont le principal objectif était d’améliorer l’eficacité des réseaux clientélaires. Ces aspects nous permettent d’apprécier comment l’intégration des dirigeants de la province de Tucumán à l’ordre politique national en 1870, a permis un équilibre institutionnel, fondé sur le respect des normes constitutionnelles qui constituaientla principale source de légitimité du système.
