Grand Lodge Of Chile
The Grand Lodge of Chile (Spanish: ''Gran Logia de Chile'') is a regular Masonic body in Chile founded on May 24, 1862. The earthquake of 1906 destroyed the original headquarters and the archives of the Grand Lodge, which determined its definitive transfer to Santiago, settling in the Club de la República. History To constitute a Grand Lodge as an autonomous masonic power, the tradition, and regulations usually shared in various nations require that there must be at least three formally constituted lodges in the territory. By the year 1862 there were already four exclusively national lodges operating in the Spanish language in the country, namely: Unión Fraternal, directed by Manuel de Lima in Valparaíso; Aurora from Chile, directed by Enrique Pastor in Concepción; Hiram Lodge, directed by Guillermo Gotschalk in Copiapó; and Progreso, directed by Blas Cuevas in Valparaíso. On this basis, it was already possible to execute the original plan. After multiple steps and attemp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chilean Constitution Of 1925
The Constitution of 1925 was the constitution in force in Chile between 1925 and 1973 when the Government Junta suspended it. In the 1920s Chile had a severe social and economic crisis that led to the loss of prestige for old ruling class, labeled oligarchy in Chilean historiography, and the rise of a more sensibilized populist government led by Arturo Alessandri. In 1924 Alessandri was outed in a coup, but was called back in 1925 to complete his mandate. Alessandri then used his presidency to draft a new constitution to replace the Constitution of 1833. The constitution was approved by plebiscite by 134,421 voters on August 30 of 1925. Prominent features of the constitution were: * Separation of the church from the state. This was the fulfillment of an old goal among many liberals in Chile. This issue had caused a series of conflicts and controversies in the 19th century. * Legislative initiative powers to the president. (Reinforced with subsequent reforms) * Created an elector ...
