One beauty of democracy is that even big electoral mistakes can be corrected in the next election. That’s what happened Sunday in Chile, where voters elected a constituent assembly that will draft a new constitution.
Conservatives won 33 of the 51 seats in the assembly, more than the 3/5 necessary to control the content of the draft constitution it has been charged by voters to write. A 2020 national plebiscite—agreed to after months of street violence—put the country on track for a new constitution to replace the 1980 version written under the government of Gen. Augusto Pinochet.
