%X En este art¨ªculo se pretende demostrar que la ciencia pol¨ªtica de James Harrington (1611-1677) ten¨ªa la intenci¨®n de crear un complejo modelo republicano como soluci¨®n a la crisis constitucional en Inglaterra durante la d¨¦cada de 1650. Pero, antes de presentar a sus contempor¨¢neos su modelo de rep¨²blica, Harrington consider¨® necesario investigar por qu¨¦ el poder soberano se rompi¨® en 1640. Su punto de partida era m¨¢s bien emp¨ªrico que especulativo o abstracto. A pesar de que las fundaciones o relaciones materiales basados en la libre propiedad ejercieran un rol decisivo en la ciencia pol¨ªtica de Harrington, la acci¨®n humana seria imprescindible para producir un orden pol¨ªtico perfecto. This article aims at showing that the political science of James Harrington (1611-1677) was intended to create a complex republican model as a remedy to the constitutional crisis in England during the 1650's. But, before presenting his model of republic to his contemporaries, Harrington thought it was necessary to investigate why sovereign power collapsed in 1640. His starting point was rather empirical than speculative or abstract. Despite the decisive part played in Harrington's political science by foundations or material relations based on freehold property, human agency was also considered altogether necessary to produce a perfect political order.
