Sumario:This article traces the conceptual history of the rule of law in Argentine constitutionalism. It has an onomasiological section that makes explicit the traditional constitutional topic on which the concept would be assembled (1860-1930) and a semasiological study that observes the introduction and consolidation of the signifier. This last perspective defines three periods: 1) the introduction of the term in the constitutional debate of 1930-1955, 2) its dogmatisation and elevation to a principle in the light of legal positivism (1955-1983), and 3) the semantic reformulation incorporating an ethical aspect since the return of democracy (1983-2015). Each moment defines particular historical counter-concepts and imaginaries.
