The Federal Constitution for the States of Venezuela (in Spanish: Constitución Federal para los Estados de Venezuela), simply known as the Constitution of Venezuela of 1811, was the first constitution of Venezuela, ratified for use by the General Congress under the First Republic, [quote needed] and mainly written by Cristóbal Mendoza and Juan Germán Roscio. It had a validity of seven months, from December of 1811, to July of 1812, when the new Republic capitulated to the Spanish Armies during the Venezuelan War of Independence.
