The 1991 c o n s t i t u e n t process incorporates various elements from the social context of the time, both institutional and non-institutional. These include the "Séptima papeleta" movement, which played a decisive role when the Supreme Court of Justice and other authorities adopted the proposals from this and other movements. These proposals aimed to achieve institutional changes through constitutional reform, which was not feasible under the existing mechanisms of the 1886 National Constitution. To promote this objective, social actors employed constitutional theory concepts, such as the primary constituent, and utilized participation mechanisms to facilitate interaction between state and non-state actors. These rules of argumentation were not limited to the exercise of the citizen vote, which, while essential, was insufficient on its own to ensure full participation from all members of he debate. The principle of one person, one vote was inadequate to change the existing order. The construction of dialogue spaces outside of legislative authority became necessary for the actors to achieve institutional change through the formation of a National Constituent Assembly. This assembly applied delibera t ive democracy principles, which are reflected in the 1991Political Constitution
