Government

Bolivia, which has had more than 190 revolutions and coups since it became independent in 1825, is governed under the constitution of 1967 as amended. The head of state and of government is the president, who is elected for a single five-year term. The bicameral legislature, the National Congress, consists of an upper Chamber of Senators and a lower Chamber of Deputies. The 27 senators and 130 deputies are all elected for five-year terms. Administratively, Bolivia is divided into nine departments.
