This paper studies the territorial scope of the bills presented by members of the Chamber of Deputies (the lower chamber of the Argentine National Congress) during Juan Domingo Perón's first two terms in office (1946-1955). Its main objective is to observe the effect that modifying the electoral system (switching from incomplete party ballots in multimember districts to relative majorities in single-member districts) had on that scope. Experimental techniques (an interrupted time-series and a within-subjects design) are used to analyze a novel database including every bill presented in the Chamber of Deputies during the period in question. Contrary to theoretical expectations, an increase is observed in the share of bills with a territorial scope that goes beyond deputies' districts - especially for those presented by legislators from the opposition and from larger provinces. In addition, by separately analyzing the effect on the ruling party and the opposition, the paper uncovers a plausible explanation for previous nonconclusive findings.... view less

El artículo estudia el alcance territorial de los proyectos de ley presentados por los miembros de la Cámara de Diputados durante las dos primeras presidencias de Juan Domingo Perón (1946-1955). Su objetivo principal es observar el efecto que la modificación del sistema electoral (de boletas partidarias con lista incompleta en distritos plurinominales a distritos uninominales con mayoría simple) tuvo en dicho alcance. Técnicas experimentales (interrupted time-series y within-subjects design) se utilizaron para para analizar una base de datos inédita que incluye todos los proyectos de ley presentados por diputados durante el período bajo estudio. Contrario a lo teóricamente esperado, se observa un aumento de la proporción de proyectos con alcance territorial más amplio que el distrito del legislador - especialmente en los proyectos presentados por legisladores opositores y de provincias grandes. Además, analizando separadamente el efecto de la reforma en diputados oficialistas y opositores, el artículo señala una posible explicación para hallazgos previos no concluyentes.... view less
