This work presents us with a brief –though by no means plain– overview of the foundations, presuppositions, possibilities and limitations and some concrete examples of what comparative legal survey gives to the field of Constitutional Law.Indicating the capability of comparative legal practice together with a distinct comparative theoretical study of constitutional matters, giving pertinent methodological observations, the Bolognian professor excels at giving the reader acute observations on the nature of the legal comparison, the definition of its scope, the grounds for something to be “comparable”, as well as other interesting topics.An experienced jurist, de Vergottini also underlines the diff erent functions of the various actors in the legal sphere, the role they play by using comparative legal analysis in their work and the practices of foundation and argumentation they employ, as well as the diff erent models and traditions that have arise.

In the present article, the author analyzes the positions for and against the juridical institution of the criminal jury, which would influence Latin America in the second half of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century.This is done by exposing the opinions expressed by European and Latin American authors whose ideas were characterized by extremely varied legal and political connotations and, sometimes, completely opposed to one another. Likewise, the historical background that characterizes each of the countries from which the authors mark their positions is presented.
