• As the worker question became visible as a public issue on the political and social horizon of the governing elites of Chile and Argentina at the beginning of the twentieth century, Argentine and Chilean legislators began to process the complex social conflict that the workers protest represented, institutionalizing the regulatory framework of social legislation. This article focuses on legislative practices; to this end it studies the passage through Congress of various bills on worker organization and workplace rights from their inception to their final approval through the indicators of two variables: effectiveness and representativeness. Both Congresses played a fundamental role in the formation of a regulatory framework for social legislation but they did so in very different ways: while the Chilean Congress worked as an effective legislative machine, a maker of laws, the Argentine Congress acted as a place of public deliberation, a participant of the public sphere.
