An early constitution from independent Chile, written in the wake of the departure of autocratic revolutionary leader Bernardo O'Higgins. "Its author, Juan Egaña, was one of the two or three best-read Creole intellectuals of the time. . . . The constitution was far too complex to be applied to Chile (or anywhere else)"--Collier & Sater, History of Chile, pages 48-49. The constitution and its 277 articles were tossed aside the following year. Palau 59709.
