    What is the reason why Argentine was previously referred to as "the Argentine"?

    Question #122675. Asked by author. (Jul 27 11 7:40 PM)

    		The first formal use of the name was in the 1826 constitution, which used both the terms "Argentine Republic" and "Argentine Nation". The Constitution was repealed, and the territories were instead known as the "Argentine Confederation". This name was used in the 1853 Constitution, being changed to that of the "Argentine Nation" in 1859, and to the "Argentine Republic" per an 1860 decree, when the country achieved its current organization.
