| Summary: | This paper examines the relation between politics and religion during the first revolutionary decade in the River Plate through the analysis of the criticism against the Spanish Inquisition made by those who ventured to the revolution. The analysis of the representations that B. Monteagudo and C. Henríquez built about the Court and how they were politically used in the Public Sphere shows that the issue of the Inquisition occupied a significant place in the political thought of the revolutionary period. It happens that the criticism against the Inquisition, when appears, gives rise to the defense of the natural rights and a form of government imagined as liberal. Therefore, the criticism was not only a resource to attack Spain, was, also, a mean to imagine new ways to articulate religion and politics. |
