By adapting the principles of Constitutionalism in Chile, the legal privileges that the indigenous people had during the Monarchy are suppressed. Such abolition left the indigenous in a vulnerable situation that damaged them, especially regarding the conservation of the property of their land. The Republic recognizes this mistake and restored, starting in 1866 and gradually, some legal benefi ts to the indigenous, but does not return to an effective protection system such as in the Spanish monarchy. The difficulties in implementing these Republican laws are described in detail by the press at the time, and were subject to the oversight role of National Congress, especially since the early twentieth century.
