The Constitutional Congress of Costa Rica was the unicameral parliament of the country for most of its history. It was established in the Political Constitution of 1871. It consisted of 43 deputies and 18 alternates elected proportionally by provinces at the rate of one deputy for every 15,000 inhabitants with, among other powers, being able to choose the President in case none of the candidates obtained the minimum required to be elected, as happened in the 1913 election, the first election that were held with direct popular vote, and in which none of the candidates; Máximo Fernández Alvarado, Carlos Durán Cartín and Rafael Yglesias Castro, gathered enough votes to win in the first round. It was therefore the responsibility of the Congress to choose the president from among the candidates

| - The Constitutional Congress of Costa Rica was the unicameral parliament of the country for most of its history. It was established in the Political Constitution of 1871. It consisted of 43 deputies and 18 alternates elected proportionally by provinces at the rate of one deputy for every 15,000 inhabitants with, among other powers, being able to choose the President in case none of the candidates obtained the minimum required to be elected, as happened in the 1913 election, the first election that were held with direct popular vote, and in which none of the candidates; Máximo Fernández Alvarado, Carlos Durán Cartín and Rafael Yglesias Castro, gathered enough votes to win in the first round. It was therefore the responsibility of the Congress to choose the president from among the candidates, but all of them withdrew their name and Alfredo González Flores was chosen. After the controversial election of 1948 in which both the opposition and the ruling party proclaimed themselves victors and accused the other side of electoral fraud, the Constitutional Congress dominated by the ruling party annulled the presidential elections (but not the parliamentary elections where the ruling coalition had been favored) and civil war broke out. The opposition defeated the government of Teodoro Picado Michalski and called upon a new Constitutional Assembly that drafted the 1949 Constitution. This created the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica, also unicameral and made up of 45 deputies later increased to 57, so that the Constitutional Congress ceases to exist. (en)
- No confundir con el Congreso Constituyente del Estado de Costa Rica. El Congreso Constitucional de Costa Rica fue el Parlamento del país según lo establecido en la Constitución Política de 1871. Era un parlamento unicameral que estaba conformado por 43 diputados propietarios y 18 suplentes electos proporcionalmente por provincias a razón de un propietario por cada 15.000 habitantes con un sistema de residuos. Tenía, entre otras potestades, la de escoger al presidente de la República en caso de que ninguno de los candidatos obtuviera el mínimo requerido para ser electo, como sucedió en las elecciones de 1913, las primeras elecciones que se realizaron con voto popular directo, y en las cuales ninguno de los candidatos; Máximo Fernández Alvarado, Carlos Durán Cartín y Rafael Yglesias Castro, cosecharon sucientes votos para ganar en primera ronda. Correspondía por lo tanto al Congreso escoger al presidente entre los candidatos, pero todos retiraron su nombre y fue escogido Alfredo González Flores. Sin embargo, González Flores sería derrocado en 1917 por Federico Tinoco Granados quien asumió el poder de manera dictatorial. Tinoco creó una nueva Constitución que abolió brevemente el Congreso Constitucional creando un parlamento bicameral, no obstante, su régimen duraría poco y tras ser derrocado en 1919, se restauró la Constitución de 1871. Tras las polémicas elecciones de 1948 en que tanto la oposición como el oficialismo se proclamaron vencedores y acusaron al otro bando de fraude electoral, el Congreso Constitucional dominado por el oficialismo anuló las elecciones presidenciales (no así las parlamentarias donde la coalición oficialista había sido favorecida) estallando la guerra civil. La oposición vence derrocando al gobierno de Teodoro Picado Michalski y convocando a una Asamblea Constituyente que redacta la Constitución de 1949. Esta crea la Asamblea Legislativa de Costa Rica, también unicameral y conformada por 45 diputados, por lo que el Congreso Constitucional deja de existir. (es)
