Spanish term

Estatutos/Escritura de constitución

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)
I'm translating 2 documents: one relates the "Estatutos" and the other "Escritura de constitución" The translation I have for both is Articles of Association which appears correct for "Estatutos", however "Escritura de constitución" appears more like a contract rather than a set of rules. Can anyone identify the difference?
Thanks in advance

Nuevamente me siento en la obligación de llamar la atención de los colegas a que este término ha sido contestado hasta el cansancio y figura en los glosarios abiertos y personales de ProZ. Colaboremos a que se respeten las reglas.

Bylaws (US) / Articles of incorporation (US)

However, it depends on the type of business organization we are dealing with and the language variant. E.g:

Sociedad Anónima (corporation)
ESTATUTOS = Bylaws (US) / ESCR. DE CONSTITUCION = Articles of incorporation (US), also Certificate of incorporation
ESTATUTOS = Articles of association (UK) / ESCR. DE CONSTITUCION = Memorandum of association (UK)

Sociedades colectivas (US Partnerships)
ESCR. DE CONSTITUCION = Articles of Partnership, also Certificate of Partnership

Sociedades de Responsabilidad Limitada (US Limited Liability Corporations)
ESCR. DE CONSTITUCION = Articles of Organization, also Certificate of formation

neutral Andy Watkinson : Bylaws (US) = Articles of Association (UK). What about "Escritura de Constitución"?

It's true, I read the question too quickly and I didn't answer it completely. "Articles of Incorporation"

Hi.
I'm no expert so you'd better wait for further help. Meanwhile, I do believe that "escritura de constitución" =
"Articles of Incorporation" or "Corporate Charter".
