Abstract: Based on preliminary analysis of the Hamiltonian formulation of the first order Einstein-Cartan action (arXiv:0902.0856 [gr-qc] and arXiv:0907.1553 [gr-qc]) we derive the Darboux coordinates, which are a unique and uniform change of variables preserving equivalence with the original action in all spacetime dimensions higher than two. Considerable simplification of the Hamiltonian formulation using the Darboux coordinates, compared with direct analysis, is explicitly demonstrated. Even an incomplete Hamiltonian analysis in combination with known symmetries of the Einstein-Cartan action and the equivalence of Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formulations allows us to unambiguously conclude that the extit{unique} extit{gauge} invariances generated by the first class constraints of the Einstein-Cartan action and the corresponding Hamiltonian are extit{translation and rotation in the tangent space}. Diffeomorphism invariance, though a manifest invariance of the action, is not generated by the first class constraints of the theory.
