Simón Bolívar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1311 words)
Into this context, Simon Bolívar was born in Caracas, in modern-day Venezuela, into an aristocratic family, educated by different tutors after his parents died.
Bolivar had wanted to implement in Gran Colombia some or all of the elements of the Bolivian constitution he had written (which included a lifetime presidency with the ability to select a successor, though this was theoretically held in check by an intricate system of balances).
This move was considered controversial and was one of the reasons why the deliberations met with strong opposition.
