Abstract:

In 2013, Uruguay shocked the world with three laws passed in just over a year, concerning same-sex marriage, decriminalization of abortion and marijuana regulation. In this work, we will develop the content of these proposals and explore some of the major causes related to their approval at this historical moment of the country. Finally, the article discusses the virtues and problems of the respective implementations.
