Old constitution of Venezuela From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Constitution of Venezuela of 1936 was approved on July 16, 1936 during the presidency of Eleazar López Contreras. Its importance is centered on being the first political constitution of the State after the dictatorship of Juan Vicente Gómez. Although it put an end to the personalist[1] character of its predecessors, at the beginning it had more restrictive characteristics than the seven Gomez constitutions, until April 23, 1945, when President Isaías Medina Angarita promoted a reform,[2] deepening the democratization process that had begun in 1936. On October 18, 1945, a coup d'état planned by the military sector and supported by Democratic Action overthrew Medina.[3] The new Revolutionary Government Junta calls for constituent elections in 1946,[4] which leads to the approval of the 1947 Constitution, repealing the 1936 Constitution.[citation needed]
