Constitutional Assembly elections were held in Uruguay on 25 June 1933.[1] They followed a presidential coup by Gabriel Terra on 31 March,[2][3] Following the coup, the Assembly was appointed to formulate a new constitution.[3] The various factions of the Colorado Party emerged as the largest group in the Assembly, winning 151 of the 284 seats.[4]

## Aftermath[edit]

The Assembly produced a new constitution which was approved in a referendum, and promulgated the following year.[3] It abolished the National Council of Administration, replacing it with a nine-member Council of Ministers, in which the second party was guaranteed three members.[3] It also gave the party that had finished second in parliamentary elections half the seats in the Senate.[3]
