Venezuela celebrates 22 years since the Bolivarian Constitution was born, the first approved by popular vote and one of the most advanced in the world on human rights, democracy and sovereignty.

"The Bolivarian Venezuela has been born," declared Hugo Chávez on #15Dec, 1999.
On April 25, 1999, 80% of Venezuelans voted in favor of a new constitution and later elected the Constituent Assembly’s members, with revolutionary ranks winning the majority of seats. The new Magna Carta was written in 100 days, collecting proposals from all sectors.
With the 1999 Constitution, Venezuela became the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to uphold the ideals of sovereignty, equality and integration from independence hero Simón Bolívar. The name rescued Venezuela's history while paving the way for the rise of popular power.
