Sumario:This article presents and analyses Emilio Rabasa’s –one of the best acknowledged jurists of late 19th Century and early 20th,due either to admiration or to the controversies aroused by his writings– position vis-à-vis the Constitution of 1917. Specifically, thanks to an exhaustive research in primary sources, a manuscript, up till then considered missing, was found. In it, Rabasa poses a legal analysis of Article 27 of the Constitution. The importance of this piece lies in the fact that it reveals the Mexican jurist’s attitude, characterised as evasive, towards the revolutionary Magna Carta. With the disclosure of this unprecedented document, I intend to improve understanding of the property rights issue in post-revolutionary Mexico.
