An Entity of Type: Law106532330, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

El Salvador has functioned under fifteen constitutions since it achieved independence from Spain in the early 19th century. The vast majority of these documents were drafted and promulgated without the benefit of broad popular input or electoral mandate. The nature of the country's elite-dominated political system and the personalistic rule of presidents drawn from either the oligarchy or the military accounted for the relatively short life span of most of these documents. Some of them were drafted solely to provide a quasi-legal basis for the extension of a president's term, whereas others were created to legitimize seizures of power on an ex post facto basis.

  • Le Salvador a été régi par quinze constitutions depuis son indépendance de l'Espagne au début du XIXe siècle. La grande majorité de ces documents a été rédigée et promulguée sans participation populaire. En effet, la nature du système politique dominé par une élite restreinte, et le régime au pouvoir présidentiel fort, dont les tenants sont issus de l'oligarchie terrienne ou de l'armée, expliquent la durée d'application relativement courte de la plupart de ces textes. Certaines d'entre elles ont été rédigées dans le seul but de fournir une base à la prolongation du mandat d'un président, tandis que d'autres ont été créées pour légitimer les prises de pouvoir ex post facto.
