The Constitution of Uruguay is the supreme law of Uruguay. Its first version was written in 1830 and its last amendment was made in 2002. A new amendment is in talks as of April 2007.

Uruguay's first constitution was adopted in 1830, following the conclusion of the three-year-long Argentina-Brazil War in which Argentina and Uruguay acted as a regional federation: the United Provinces of Río de la Plata. Sponsored by the United Kingdom, the 1828 Treaty of Montevideo built the foundations for a Uruguayan state and constitution. Attempts to reform the 1830 constitution in 1966 led to the adoption of an entirely new document in 1967. A constitution proposed under a military revolution in 1980 was rejected.
This is the current version of the Uruguayan Constitution. Although its last major change was made in 1997, it has been slightly modified ever since.
