He soon resumed those studies, preparing to become a lawyer. He continued those studies in Córdoba and in 1840 finished them in Montevideo. During this process, his ability to teach himself stands out, besides his formal studies.When it was decided to write a constitution for Argentina, Alberdi sent copies of a paper he had written, entitled "Bases and Starting Points for the Political Organization of the Argentine Republic", to the delegates to the Constitutional Assembly. Many of the suggestions contained in it were incorporated into the Argentine Constitution of 1853.
Under the new regime, Alberdi assumed diplomatic duties in Europe, which were interrupted by the re-organization of the Argentine Republic in 1862. He re-established himself in Argentina in 1878, but harsh disagreement with Bartolomé Mitre pushed Alberdi to leave for France, where, at the age of seventy-three, he died on July 19, 1884, in a suburb of Paris. His body was returned to Argentina and was interred in La Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires.
