Constituent Congress of Peru (1822)

Also, before the retirement of San Martín, presented the Executive to three members, who formed a collegial body called the Supreme Governing Junta and whose head was General José de la Mar.

Lawmakers began to deliver the executive to a group of three members, who formed a collegial body called the Supreme Governing Junta (chaired by José de La Mar and including Manuel Salazar and Antonio Alvarado and Felipe Baquíjano).

On November 4, Congress agreed thanksgiving to Lord Thomas Cochrane, Colombia, the Liberation Army, Chile and the Supreme Director and expressed its appreciation to the indigenous guerrillas and even the natural forest for their services in favor of independence.

The only exception was the former minister Bernardo de Monteagudo, who was banned, establishing penalties for authorities to allow him to live freely in their districts.

San Martín overruled the Commission of Juan Garcia del Río and James Paroissien, who had been sent to Europe to find a king for Peru and on 22 December of that year, the Congress established the "Bases of the Constitution" which, among the many reforms, stresses the abolition of the trade in "negros".

As for the war against the Spanish who still held out in southern Peru, the Governing Junta decided to conduct the military plan of San Martín, to attack the royalists from South intermediate ports.

During the Guayaquil conference, Bolívar, San Martín had offered military aid to Peru, which was founded in July 1822 with the dispatch of Colombian troops under the command of Juan Paz del Castillo.

Added to that were the instructions he had received from Juan Paz del Castillo, not to commit their forces in case they were guaranteed success only in northern Peru.

The patriotic officers commanding the troops that guarded Lima, fearing a Spanish offensive, signed a petition to Congress, dated February 23, 1823 in Miraflores, invoking the name of one Supreme Head "to order and be quickly obeyed", replacing the collegial body that belonged to the Junta, even suggested the name of the officer to assume the government stated: Colonel José de la Riva Agüero y Sánchez Boquete.

Given the pressure that day, Congress agreed to dismiss the Governing Junta and an interim order to the highest office highest-ranking military leader was José Bernardo de Tagle.

Given the statement made by Santa Cruz, Congress named Riva Agüero as President by 39 votes for a total of 60, not assigned duties and deadlines.

Congress ruled that Trujillo be moved to the executive and legislative branches also created a military power confided to Venezuelan General Antonio José de Sucre (who had arrived in Peru in May of that year), and sent a delegation to Colombia to request personal collaboration of Simón Bolívar in the war against the Spanish (June 19, 1823).

Next, Congress granted the same powers Sucre equal to those of President for the duration of the crisis, and on June 23 ruled that remain exempt from Riva Agüero supreme command.

But a day earlier, the Congress ordered the suspension of his articles that were inconsistent with the powers granted to the liberator Bolívar, who was already under way to establish the dictatorship.
