| - Costa Rica’s National Constituent Assembly was formed after the 1948 civil war. Elections to the Assembly for a New Constitution were called on December 8, 1948 by the then de facto Junta provisional government presided by José Figueres. The Assembly took place between January 15 and November 7, 1949. The Assembly successfully drafted and approved the current Costa Rican Constitution. Women were not allow to vote or be elected for any of the 45 seats, as women's voting was still not legal (the 1949 Constitution subsequently gave women the right to vote and be elected). Also, due to the recent civil war, the parties of the losing side, mainly the Republicans (Calderonistas) and the Communists were outlawed. Nevertheless, a party named National Constitutional Party led by constitutional experts and lawyers that in many cases were relatives of Republican leaders was allowed to participate and was the second more voted party, according to some historians, thanks to the Republican vote, albeit Republican leader in exile Rafael Ángel Calderón Guardia called for abstention. The most voted party was president-elect Otilio Ulate’s party National Union (PUN). The party achieved a landslide victory with 74% of the vote and 34 of 45 seats. Yet, even when the party was loosely liberal as Ulate himself, most historians agree that PUN's Assemblymen didn't share much ideological or programmatic coherence other than being Ulatistas. The third largest party in the Assembly was the Social Democratic Party led by then de facto ruler and victorious leader of the civil war José Figueres. Unlike the other parties, the Social Democrats had a coherent ideology and political philosophy to follow, and even though it had very few seats (only 4) their members were very influential thanks to their intellectual weight, including among other future president Luis Alberto Monge and notorious academic Rodrigo Facio. The fourth party was National Fellowship, a left-wing Guanacastecan independence party led by physician Francisco Vargas. A special committee was appointed by the Assembly to draft a Constitution. Among the committee members were Facio, jurist Fernando Baudrit Solera and other notorious intellectuals. They made a very progressive Constitution for the time, yet the Assembly's plenary finally disregarded the draft and took the 1871 Constitution as the basis of the new one. (en)
- La Asamblea Nacional Constituyente de 1949 fue el órgano constituyente que promulgó la actual Constitución Política de la República de Costa Rica. La misma inició funciones el 15 de enero de 1949 y finalizó sus labores el 7 de noviembre del mismo año. Sesionó en el Palacio Nacional de Costa Rica. Se eligió como presidente al diputado constituyente José María Vargas, pero no ejerció el cargo, y este recayó en el Dr. Marcial Rodríguez Conejo. La Asamblea aprobó por unanimidad reconocer el triunfo de Otilio Ulate Blanco en las elecciones presidenciales de 1948 y llamarlo a ejercer la presidencia de la República para el período comprendido entre 1949 y 1953, como efectivamente lo hizo. El dos de febrero se integró una comisión conformada por Fernando Volio Sancho, Fernando Baudrit Solera, Manuel Antonio González Herrán, Fernando Lara Bustamante, Rafael Carrillo Echeverría, Fernando Fournier Acuña, Rodrigo Facio Brenes, Eloy Morúa González y Abelardo Bonilla Balladares para redactar el borrador de la nueva Constitución, creando una propuesta bastante vanguardista, sin embargo, el Plenario no aceptó el borrador y finalmente optó por tomar como base la Constitución de 1871 y realizarle algunas reformas.
