The politics of Argentina take place in the framework of what the Constitution defines as a federal presidential representative democratic republic, where the President of Argentina is both Head of State and Head of Government. Legislative power is vested in the two chambers of the Argentine National Congress. The Judiciary is independent, as are the Executive and the Legislature. Elections take place regularly on a multi-party system.
In the 20th century, Argentina experienced significant political turmoil and democratic reversals.[1][2][3] Between 1930 and 1976, the armed forces overthrew six governments in Argentina;[2] and the country alternated periods of democracy (1912–1930, 1946–1955, and 1973–1976) with periods of restricted democracy and military rule.[1]
Following a transition that began in 1983,[4] full-scale democracy in Argentina was reestablished.[1][2] Argentina's democracy endured through the 2001–02 crisis and to the present day; it is regarded as more robust than both its pre-1983 predecessors and other democracies in Latin America.[2]
