The Convention of Ocaña was a constituent assembly that took place in the Colombian city of Ocaña between April 9 and June 10, 1828. Its objective was to reform the Constitution of Cúcuta and resolve political differences concerning the future of the republic. Past Gran Colombia, since 1826 had been economically exhausted by the long campaign to liberate Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia from royalist control. In addition, there were conflicting interests between the political administration and the military of the new nation, as well as tension between local leaders, who did not accept to being subordinates of the central government. In 1826 General José Antonio Páez, an important caudillo and military leader of the department of Venezuela , rebelled against the central government in a separatist movement called La Cosiata , which is brought to a temporary but peaceful resolution by the personal intervention of Simón Bolívar in 1827. History At the Convention two political currents came into sharp relief : the followers of Bolivar , who supported a strong presidency, and those who supported a more decentralized government and gathered around the figure of Vice-President Francisco de Paula Santander. The discussion of various political projects, such as centralism and federalism , became extremely contentious. Since the Constitution of Cúcuta stated that it could not be reformed before ten years (that is, not until 1831), Santander and his allies had to give up the idea of reforming it in order to maintain the unity of the nation . José María del Castillo y Rada was chosen as president and Andrés Narvarte as vice president of the Convention. The Convention did not come to its planed conclusion because the followers of Bolivar quit it . Bolivar, in an effort to maintain the unity of Gran Colombia that had already been greatly undermined, assumed dictatorial powers on August 27, 1828. +Deputies elected for the Ocaña convention of 1828For the province of BogotáFor the province of MariquitaFor the province of CaracasFor the province of CaraboboFor the province of MaracaiboFor the province of PanamáFrancisco de Paula SantanderJosé María del CastilloMartín TobarSalvador MesaDoctor Antonio M.
