The Assembly of the Year XIII (Spanish: Asamblea del Año XIII, also known as the General Constituent and Sovereign Assembly of the Year 1813 (Asamblea General Constituyente y Soberana del Año 1813), was a congress of deputies of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata convened by the Second Triumvirate, which met in Buenos Aires from 31 January 1813 to 24 January 1815. Its objectives were for the representatives of the "free peoples" to recognise the sovereignty of the people, proclaim the independence of the United Provinces and draft a constitution that would define the institutional system of the new state. Although these last two objectives were not met, the assembly established a significant number of reforms in the Rioplatense institutions and among other measures established the celebration of 25 May as a civic holiday, remove the image of Ferdinand VII from coins and official documents, declared the principle of the sovereignty of the people, commissioned the composition of a national anthem, dictated the abolition of slavery, removed nobility titles, and proclaimed freedom of the press among other things.
