Chilean Constitution of 1833

The Chilean Constitution of 1833 was the country's fundamental law that established a strong centralized government, with significant executive authority vested in the president. It created a stable legal framework following internal conflicts and aimed to promote unity and order. The constitution organized government structure, defined rights, and limited certain freedoms to maintain national stability. It remained in effect for nearly a century, influencing Chilean politics by emphasizing order and authority, often at the expense of broader democratic participation. Its long duration reflects its importance in shaping early modern Chilean governance.
