Due to the fact that the United States of America change their ways according to their necessities or conviniences, I would suggest that the first sentence in the Ideals section, He admired the United States of America and was said to always carry a copy of the United States Constitution with him., should be changed into He admired the back-then-United States of America and was said to always carry a copy of the United States Constitution with him.. I suppose he would have never admired the nowadays U.S.A.

In spite of the fact of my supposition, it is simply not the same these days. --Ladik 01:11, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

But as Artigas died in 1850 it's absurd to wonder what would be his oppinion of the USA of today. He admired the USA and he never stated the contrary. That is the fact. Otherwise it is plain POV and probably vulnerates Wikipedia's policy of neutrality.--Menah the Great (talk) 05:36, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I would like to see the source that says that he Admired the United States and was often seen carrying it's constitution, for I have reason to believe that he did not, in fact, he couln't even read english. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.139.207.114 (talk) 23:13, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
