Summary: The evolution of the constitutional texts that the Dominican Republic had during the 19th century was influenced by its national political life; hence, between 1844 and 1900 there was a significant number of reforms that, to a greater or lesser extent, reflected the ideology of those who held power to modify our fundamental law. This was not experienced exclusively in our country, but the rest of Latin American States had a similar experience at the end of the 19th century, characterized by the conservative-liberal fusion, that is, by the drafting of constitutions agreed between these two factions. In this sense, this article aims to determine if this fusion was experienced in the Dominican Republic or if there was another form of constitutional agreement. For these purposes, the national constitutional texts of the 19th century have been examined, in the light of Latin American doctrine and national history. The main reasoning of this research is that the conservative-liberal fusion was present in the country, but it is also notable that it leaned more toward conservatism than toward liberalism, sometimes leading to an imposition of the former over the latter.
