The current Constitution of the Argentine Republic dates back to 1853. The Argentine Constitution of 1853 was approved in 1853 by almost all of the provincial governments with the exception of Buenos Aires Province, which remained separate from the Argentine Confederation until 1859. After several modifications to the original constitution and the return of power to Buenos Aires' Unitarian Party, it was sanctioned on May 1, 1853, by the Constitutional Convention that had gathered in Santa Fe. The document was promulgated by the provisional director of the national executive government, Justo José de Urquiza, who was a member of the Federalist Party. Following the short-lived constitutions of 1819 and 1826, it was the third constitution in the history of the country. Despite several reforms of varying importance, the 1853 constitution formed the basis of the current Argentine juridical system. It was closely inspired by the juridical and political doctrines of the United States Constitution.

Others have charged the introduction with being overtly influenced by the United States Constitution instead of earlier models found in Argentine history. More recently, the constitution has been criticized for placing too much power in the presidency. nonetheless, the historical importance of the constitutional project has been unquestionable, and virtually all disputes regarding the political theory and practice in modern Argentina include either positive or negative references to the political consequences of the 1853 constitution. For the generation of '80, the founders of the first liberal conventions on Argentine historiography, the constitution represented a true foundational act that broke the long government of Juan Manuel de Rosas. The members of the generation of '80 especially praised the fact that the Constitution established a European-style liberal political regime. However, some of the members of the generation of '80 had voiced opposition at the time that it was sanctioned. For the UCR, a group with social-democratic tendencies, the constitution represented an unfulfilled political ideal against the oligarchic government generation of '80, perpetuated in power through electoral fraud. For the nationalist movements of the 20th century, who criticized the liberal conventions and praised Rosas, the constitution had represented the renouncement of the national identity towards the r
