The Wess--Zumino term, in the context of the anomalous chiral Schwinger model, is derived using the Dirac formulation for constrained system. The guideline of this construction is the iterative transformation of second-class constraints into first-class ones with the addition of appropriated counter terms in the Lagrangian.
