Each of the fourteen Provinces of the Republic has its own Constitution, which cannot be in conflict with the Federal Constitution which provides a necessarily limited degree of autonomy in the government of the Provinces.

Hace años que sé que muchos consideran al Facundo de Sarmiento como el libro seminal de la literatura argentina, que perdió contra el Martín Fierro el cetro de libro nacional y que Echeverría le ganó de mano con su Matadero. Lo sabía hace años pero recién ahora, a mis 44 dec
There are relative few works of politics and history that can be regarded as great literature. Offhand, I can think of Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, Tacitus, Gibbon, Brazil's Euclides da Cunha -- and now I must add to this list Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, scholar, educator, and one-time President of
