PotosĂ Department ( Spanish: Departamento de PotosĂ) was a department of Bolivia, a constituent country of the PeruâBolivian Confederation, which existed from 1836 to 1839. [1] Created alongside the confederate state, its capital was PotosĂ.
Potosà sent deputies to the Congress of Tapacarà in June 1836, where the Bolivian government, under the command of General Andrés de Santa Cruz agreed that after the military intervention in Peru, give recognition to the creation of the Peruvian-Bolivian Confederation. [2]
The Fundamental Law of 1837, signed in the city of Tacna, with the approval of the self-proclaimed supreme protector Andrés de Santa Cruz, recognized Potosà as a founding department of the Confederation. [3]
PotosĂ was subject to the General Government, its governor was appointed by the president of the State, and this in turn was appointed by the supreme protector on duty. The governor was obliged to elect representatives of his department to participate in congressional meetings, which were ordered by the president of the Bolivian State. [3]
