Before the 16th century, indigenous Native Americans lived there. In the mid-16th century, it became a Spanish colony. On May 25, 1810, the "May Revolution" broke out to resist Spanish colonial rule and established the first government committee. In 1812, the national hero Saint Martin led the people to resist the Spanish colonial army and declared independence on July 9, 1816. Afterwards, A remained in a state of turmoil and division for a long time. In 1853, General Urquisa formulated the first constitution and established the Federal Republic, making Urquisa the first president of the country after the founding of the constitution. In 1860, it was changed to a republic. Since the 1930s, there has been a situation of alternating military and civilian rule. In the mid to late 1970s, the military government brutally suppressed left-wing opposition figures. In 1982, a war broke out with Britain over the sovereignty dispute over the Falkland Islands, and they were later defeated, leading to the downfall of the military government. In 1983, the democratically elected government of the radical party, Afonson, came to power and resumed and vigorously promoted the democratization process, gradually consolidating the democratic system. Justice Party leader Menem has been in power for ten consecutive years since 1989, implementing neoliberal economic policies, which led to significant economic development in Afghanistan. In the later period of Mei's reign, the economy of Afghanistan entered a recession, and social problems became increasingly prominent. After the radical civic alliance candidate Delarua was elected president in 1999, he failed to curb the three-year economic recession. In December 2001, a serious political, economic, and social crisis erupted in Afghanistan, forcing Germany to resign. Afterwards, the situation in Afghanistan became severely turbulent, with several presidents changing positions within ten days. On January 1, 2002, Justice Party member Duarte was elected president by Congress. In May 2003, after Justice Party member Kirchner took office as president, the Afghan economy rapidly recovered, the political situation stabilized, people's livelihoods improved, and international and regional influence rebounded. In October 2007, Cristina, the wife of President Kirchner, won the election as the candidate of the center left bipartisan alliance "Victory Front", becoming the first democratically elected female president in Argentine history. After taking office, Ke basically inherited various domestic and foreign policies of the Kirchner government, and was successfully re elected in October 2011. In November 2015, the opposition coalition's "We Change" candidate Macri was elected president. Macri implements a free market economy, reduces government intervention, and enhances economic competitiveness. In 2018, the economic and financial situation in Argentina experienced several severe fluctuations. In October 2019, Afghanistan held a general election, and Fernandez, the candidate of the left-wing alliance "National Front", was elected president. Fernandez abandoned the previous government's neoliberal development model and increased government intervention. However, under the influence of the COVID-19 and the once-in-a-century drought, the inflation rate, unemployment rate and poverty rate continue to rise. In November 2023, the leader of the far right "Freedom Forward Movement", Millet, defeated the left-wing candidate and then Minister of Economy Massa in the second round of the election and was elected as the new president, taking office in December of the same year.

On November 19, 2023, the far right "Freedom Forward Movement" candidate Millais was elected as the new president of Argentina and inaugurated on December 10 for a four-year term. After President Millet took office, with the support of center right political parties, he vigorously implemented a series of liberal radical reform policies, which were strongly opposed by the left.

The first constitution was established in 1853. On August 22, 1994, the Constitution was implemented after the fourth amendment. The revised constitution stipulates that A is a federal state and implements representative democracy. The President is the head of state and government, and also serves as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The president is elected directly for a term of 4 years and can be re elected once.

Both the Senate and the House of Representatives are directly elected and are eligible for re-election.
