RECONSTRUCTION OF A POLITICAL THEORY, THE MERITOCRATIC ACTIVE SUFFRAGE

A non-formal reconstruction of the theory of the meritocratic active suffrage is presented, which proposes the plural vote in local communities based on political merit, according to the prosociality of local political participation. The method is based on structuralist metatheory, adapted to the analysis of human science theories. The intratheoretical and intertheoreticalor networks of the theory were reconstructed, and a critique of it was made based on its adjustment to the social context. It is concluded that the analyzed theory is well founded, although it deserves adequate development for its operationalization and application.
