The Argentine Constitution of 1853

The Argentine Constitution of 1853 is the fundamental legal framework that established Argentina as a unified, independent nation with a federal system. It defines the organization of government, dividing powers among the Executive (President), Legislature, and Judiciary, and guarantees individual rights. The constitution also recognizes the autonomy of provinces, allowing them to govern locally while remaining part of the nation. It aimed to promote stability, sovereignty, and democracy, laying the constitutional groundwork that has guided Argentina’s political development since then.
