Antonio José de Sucre succeeds Bolívar in …
Years: 1816 - 1827
Antonio José de Sucre succeeds Bolívar in January 1826 and continues to rule by decree.
He is formally installed as Bolivia's first elected president after the Constituent Assembly convenes in May and elects him.
During his three-year rule, the government tries to solve its grave financial problems, which are aggravated by the lack of foreign credit.
Sucre reforms the existing tax structure in an effort to finance public expenditures and tries to revive silver mining by attracting foreign capital and technology.
In one of the most radical attacks on the church anywhere in Latin America, he confiscates church wealth in Bolivia and closes down many monasteries.
The Roman Catholic Church in Bolivia will never recover the powerful role that it had held.
Import duties and taxes on the internal movement of goods are also important sources of state revenue.
In addition, Sucre reestablishes tribute payments in an attempt to solve the country's financial crisis.
