Constitution of Argentina The constitution of Argentina is one
of the main sources of existing law in Argentina. Its first
version was written in 1853 by a Constitutional Assembly
gathered in Santa Fe. The basis was taken in part from the
United States Constitution. It was then changed in 1860, 1866,
1898, 1949, 1957. The present version is the text of 1994. The
first government was made after the May Revolution. Many
revolutionary leaders, led by Mariano Moreno, wanted to declare
independence immediately. There were problems between the two
main parties. Finally the federal constitution was made on May
1, 1853. - (English) Official translation to English - (Spanish)
