%X It is said that the Constitutions of the nineteenth century Colombia were battle
cards that appeased the military confrontation, but at the same time they contained
the seed for the next confrontation. The 1991 Constitution breaks with that
tradition, as it is not perceived as a battle card, but as a peace pact. Through a
comparative politics methodology, this article contrasts the constitutional process
of 1991 with other scenarios of deep institutional reconstruction to argue that what
makes the 1991 Constitution different from those battle cards was the type of crisis
that led to the constitution of the National Constituent Assembly, its origin in a
popular movement committed to a communicative action and, lastly, its inclusive
and deliberative character, in which groups traditionally marginalized were heard.
