Folio (31 x 21.5 cm.), unbound. Caption title. Uncut. In fine condition. (2 ll.) *** In the 1820s, Chileans engaged in an ongoing dispute over whether the nation should have a strong central government or should be a loose confederation of provinces. This proposal includes lists of what the provincial assemblies will be allowed to do and what they are restricted from doing. Among the provincial powers are supervising education, electing certain judges, disbursing pensions, and organizing provincial militias. Among the actions forbidden to such assemblies are setting restrictions on trade, engaging in foreign affairs, maintaining warships, and granting sanctuary to those wanted for crimes in other provinces.The document bears the printed signatures of Diego Antonio Elizondo, Francisco R. de Vicu�a, Juan Fari�as, and J.M. Novoa.*** Brise�o III, 210, no. 1289 (suggests that it was printed in Santiago at the Imprenta de la Biblioteca); cf. I, 295. Not located in CCPBE. Not located in Rebiun. Not located in Jisc.
