''Federalization'' is a term which in Argentine law defines the process of assigning federal status to a territory, with the purpose of making that territory the national capital. The federalization of Buenos Aires, that politically separated the city from the Buenos Aires Province to put it under direct control of the national government, was a constant aspiration of the other provinces of Argentina since the formation of the national state. However, due to harsh political debates around the issue, federalization was only achieved in 1880, more than sixty years later. == Concept in the Argentine Constitution == The first successful Constitutional Convention, which took place in 1853, defined in its 3rd article the status of Buenos Aires:
The terms ''Argentine Confederacy'' were used in those days to designate Argentina (usage would evolve until today, where the terms ''Argentine Republic'' are used instead). This article could not be enforced, as Buenos Aires withdrew from the convention, forming a separate state. When the province rejoined the country in 1860, an amendment was made to the constitution, which changed article III in a subtle way:
This change did not declare Buenos Aires national capital right away, and left an open door for another city to be declared so. Although the city was made capital in the end, the change was satisfactory for the ''porteños'' as well as the rest of the country, and so it remained. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Federalization of Buenos Aires」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
