        This is a valuable research tool providing analysis of each Charter provision with a high level of detail, and citing and summarizing relevant caselaw.  Additional information is provided for many sections, such as drafting history and general principles of interpretation that have been applied by the courts.

        This authoritative English translation of the Argentine Constitution of 1994 was consulted in preparing the Argentine entries for the Comparative Constitutional Right Chart.  It is accompanied by a brief historical and political note on the Argentine constitutions.  An additional translation, provided on the web site of the Argentine Senate, is available at https://www.senado.gov.ar/web/constitucion/english.html, but this site often fails to respond or is slow loading.

        In Table 3, the author provides an extremely useful comparison of the civil and political rights protections embodied in nine Latin American constitutions in effect as of 1998 (Bolivia, Venezuela, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru, Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador).  The chart is based upon the contents of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), and the provisions of the ICCPR appear in numerical order in the left-hand column.  Also analyzed are the provisions of the American Convention on Human Rights.  Unfortunately, table entries consist solely of the number of the relevant article of each constitution.
        In Table 2, the author provides a similar chart-based analysis of the civil and political provisions of the Argentine Constitutions of 1853 and of 1994.  Somewhat more detailed analysis is provided than in Table 3.
