So what's your point? Pinochet himself voluntarily ceded his own power.
All done in violation of the constitution.
That presumes the constitution was operational at the time. Thanks to Allende, it wasn't.
It sounds like you're claiming that the situation justified the coup.
I'm saying that it justified Allende's arrest. The fact that he decided to off himself in the middle of it was beyond Pinochet's control.
Such a claim is in direct violation of article 4 of the constitution
Actually that would've been Allende in violation. The constitution did not bar anyone from arresting criminals.
My point was that he was opposed to Pinochet's rule.
That presumes the constitution was operational at the time. Thanks to Allende, it wasn't.
If the constitution wasn't operational at the time, then the charge that Allende was in violation of it is not a valid charge.
I'm saying that it justified Allende's arrest.
The issue in question in the coup, not the arrest. Are you claiming that the situation justified the coup? Because that would be a direct violation of article 4.
Actually that would've been Allende in violation.
Apparently you cannot imagine a situation in which two different people could each violate constitutional provisions.
The constitution did not bar anyone from arresting criminals.
Again, Allende's arrest is not the issue in question.
