Abstract
The Constitution of the Republic of Bolivia bears date October 28, 1880. By its provisions the executive power is vested in a President, elected for a term of four years by universal suffrage; while the legislative authority rests with a Congress of two chambers, called the Senate, and the Chamber of Deputies, both elected by universal suffrage. There are 66 Deputies. The President is assisted in his executive functions by two Vice-presidents and a ministry, divided into five departments—of Foreign Relations and Colonisation; of Finance; of War; of Justice; and of the Interior.
