Miguel Antonio Caro Tobar (November 10, 1843 – August 5, 1909) was a Colombian scholar, poet, journalist, philosopher, orator, philologist, lawyer, and politician.

His father, José Eusebio Caro and Mariano Ospina Rodríguez, were the founders of the Colombian Conservative Party.

He was appointed as Director of the National Library, was elected to congress, and founded of the Academia Colombiana de la Lengua.

[3] Caro, as philosopher, scholar and orator, played a decisive and important role in the preparation, composition and enactment of the new Constitution of 1886.

Although he was the legitimate and constitutional president of Colombia, he did so to show respect to his mentor Rafael Núñez whose illness had forced him to cede day-to-day power.

[6] Almost a year later, in January 1896, the traditionalists sent to Caro a very stern admonition, known as the "Manifesto of the 21", expressing their discontent and disapproval of the affairs of his administration.

They urged Caro to lift martial law, reinstate civil liberties and have a magnanimous approach towards the liberals.

Caro appointed General Guillermo Quintero Calderón to replace him and retired to his family retreat in Sopó.

[16] Juan represented White House energy priorities in recovery delegations focused on rebuilding infrastructure,[17][18] economic revitalization,[19] and the re-shoring pharmaceutical manufacturing.
