Argentina

            According to the constitution of 1853, Argentina is a federal republic headed by a president, who is assisted by a council of ministers. Legislative powers are a national congress consisting of a Senate and a Chamber of Deputies. A new constitution was passed in 1949, and was changed in 1956. All constitutional requirements were stopped in 1966 following a military takeover. After another military overthrow in 1976, the constitution of 1853 was again stopped, but it was reinstated when Argentina returned to its original government in 1983. The constitution of 1853, in the introduction and in much of the wording, reflects the ideas of the Constitution of the United States. Several parts of Argentina's constitution were renewed in 1994. The president of Argentina serves for six years in a term in 1853, now presidents can only serve two consecutive terms in a lifetime. The organization of the legislature of Argentina is similar to that of the United States. The National Congress consists of a lower chamber, the 257-member Chamber of Deputies, and an upper chamber, the 72-member Senate. The 1994 constitution gave some formerly presidential powers to the legislature. The government of Argentina is very similar to that of the United States.
