Abstract: Supergravity is shown to be the unique consistent interacting theory of massless spin-2 plus spin-3/2 particles. It is derived from the noninteracting form using the gauge invariances intrinsic to the latter. As a preliminary, the vierbein form of general relativity is also uniquely obtained from the free spin-2 action.
