The Organization of the Republic is the period of the history of Chile that occurred between the abdication of Bernardo O'Higgins, on January 28, 1823, and the promulgation of the Conservative Constitution, on May 25, 1833.[1]

These years were characterized by the constant search for an adequate institutional order for the State of Chile. Although the period of constitutional trials dated back to the government of O'Higgins (Constitutions of 1818 and 1822), during this period the struggle for organization became more turbulent, given the constant struggles between the aristocracy, military officers and ideologues.

During this period, three constitutions were implemented: the Moralist Constitution (written by Juan Egaña), the Federal Laws (written mainly by José Miguel Infante), and the Liberal Constitution (written by José Joaquín de Mora in 1828).
