To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The constitution adopted May 11, 1830, still stands, though amended in many particulars in 1835, 1843, 1861, 1869, and in 1883. It recognizes a president and two Houses, an Upper and a Lower, and is based largely, as are most of the South Ameri- can constitutions, on that of the United States. There is a Senate and a Chamber of Deputies. The Senate is composed of two members returned from each of the seven- teen departments, who have the usual prerogatives of an Upper House. They are chosen for... a four years' term, but the terms of half the members expire every two years. The Chamber of Deputies is composed of about thirty-four members, being one for every 30,000 inhabitants, but the number changes constantly. The Congress assembles without a summons on June 10 in every second year at Quito, the capital. The president is elected every four years by indirect elec- tions, there being nine hundred electors chosen by the people for the purpose. A vice-president chosen at the same time is president of the Council of State, besides filling the usual offices of a vice-president in a republic.
