Law of Bolivia

The law of Bolivia includes a constitution and a number of codes.

Bolivia has had seventeen constitutions.

By 1840, sources of the law of Bolivia included: (1) Acts of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation, prior to the revolution of Bolivia. (2) Acts of the legislature of the Republic. Among these Acts there was a general code of laws, entitled Codigo Santa Cruz. This title is evidently in imitation of the title of Code Napoleon; for Santa Cruz is the name of the general who was elected president of the Republic in 1828; and under his presidency, the Codigo was published. (3) Decisions of the Bolivian courts. (4) Spanish law. (5) Roman civil law. (6) The ancient Peruvian law, or the customs and usages of the country.

The legislature has been called the Congreso Nacional. The gazette is called Gaceta Oficial de Bolivia.

Courts have included the Plurinational Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court of Justice and the Tribunal Supremo Electoral

The Spanish Criminal Code of 1822 came into force in Bolivia on 2 April 1831. It was replaced by the Penal Code of 1834. A Law of 3 September 1883 made provision in relation to perjury. Bolivia now has a new Penal Code of 23 August 1972.

There was a Code of Criminal Procedure of 6 August 1898. This was replaced by the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1972.

As to copyright, see the law of 13 April 1992.
