The Constitutional Convention (Spanish: Convención Constitucional) was the constituent body of the Republic of Chile in charge of drafting a new Political Constitution of the Republic after the approval of the national plebiscite held in October 2020.[1] Its creation and regulation were carried out through Law No. 21,200, published on 24 December 2019, which amended the Political Constitution of the Republic to include the process of drafting a new constitution.[2] The body met for the first time on 4 July 2021. Chilean President Sebastian Piñera said, "This Constitutional Convention must, within a period of 9 months, extendable for an additional 3 months, draft and approve a new constitution for Chile, which must be ratified by the citizens through a plebiscite."[3] It ended its functions and declared itself dissolved on 4 July 2022.
The proposed constitution, which had faced "intense criticism that it was too long, too left-leaning and too radical",[4] was rejected by a margin of 62% to 38% in the 2022 Chilean national plebiscite.[5][6]
