Since in 1901 Joaquín Costa defined the Restoration regime as «oligarchic and despotic», such consideration has been common in the historiography of contemporary Spain. Thus, the combination, in a certain moment in time, of masses of poor and illiterate people - mostly living in the country - and of «corrupted and perverse» elites would give way to an electoral and politic practice oligarchic and despotic. In this paper, and based on the analysis of several electoral legislations from the reign of Isabel I and on several examples of electoral procedures, it is argued that «oligarchy and caciquismo/local despotism» - with mainly male proprietors and the learned as voters - make up the essence of the system. Therefore, the two-party power switching in the Restoration does represent a variation on the exercise of power and not the genesis of oligarchic power or despotic practices. [-]
