18635642Bogota: Imprenta de la Nacion 1863. Very good. 286vii pp. Later plain wrappers; removed from a sammelband. Ownership mark eradicated from title page. Light tanning. The mid-19th century in Colombian politics was characterized by swings in power between Liberal and Conservative factions until the Liberals ascended to power in the early 1860s and ruled relatively unchallenged for the next two decades. The present work contains a very early printing of their new Constitution of 1863 as ratified by the Ríonegro Convention as well as most of the other legislation adopted there. The constitution incorporated many anti-clerical measures including official separation of church and state; full freedom of worship including non-Catholics; suppression of the religious orders; prohibition of corporate i.e. church ownership of real property; and governmental supervision of worship. The document also thoroughly decentralized power and made each state a virtual law unto itself. In an attempt to curb the authority of its leading politician-general Tomás de Mosquera the liberals made the presidency a two-year office with no immediate re-election. Imprenta de la Nacion unknown

Felipe Perez who was appointed in the same year as publication by President José María Obando attempts to analyze the situation in neighboring Ecuador so that its perceived ills might be avoided in Colombia.
