| 總結: | This article reviews both the political circumstances that guided constitutional reforms regarding the reelection of legislators (1933) and the ones that led to the couter-refórm (1964) but were, however, lost in historical oblivion. It is very interesting to observe the process through which a civil right (reelection) transforms into a political. principle (nonreelection) and then into a taboo that impregnated social imagery well into the twentieth century. Although restablishing the right to reelection in itself contributes only fragmentarily to a better functioning of legislative power, it implies the possible emergence of both old and new institutional risks and costs, so in Mexico —during the twentieth century- this issue could not be discussed soberly and responsibly in all its complexities.
