Its bases were based on a firm stance on secular, rationalist, republican, humanist, and anticlerical principles.
In Argentina radicalism was initiated by the Unión Civico Radical, a party that was founded in 1891. They scoffed at political openness, the end of fraud, the expansion of the rights of the lower and middle classes, the end of the ban, and greater rights to immigrants and their descendants.
It was born as such after the Revolution of ’90 and was consolidated in the armed uprisings of 1893 and 1905. These were unsuccessful, but they managed to sanction a law of secret and compulsory vote for all men. This right allowed radicalism to come to power in 1916 with the presidency of Hipolito Irigoyen.
