This performance changed during the administration of his successor, Domingo F.

Durante la presidencia de Bartolomé Mitre (1862-1868), la dinámica del Congreso no se centró en una relación entre gobierno y oposición, a pesar de las simpatías y alineamientos a favor y en contra del Ejecutivo que se dieron sobre los distintos temas. Ese funcionamiento se modificó durante la gestión de su sucesor, Domingo F. Sarmiento (1868-1874), quien debió enfrentar en las cámaras un grupo de adversarios variopinto, pero relativamente unificado, en el cual, desde mayo de 1869, se encontró también el propio Mitre. A través del análisis de documentos legislativos, correspondencia personal y prensa periódica, este trabajo examina cómo se produjo esa reorganización de las alianzas en el Congreso, así como las transformaciones institucionales que implicó. Pone el foco en la praxis legislativa de la Cámara Alta y en su relación con el Poder Ejecutivo durante el primer año de la administración Sarmiento.
