Bolivia has two capitals what are they?

Answer 1

The capital at La Paz was made the administrative capital in 1898, while the historical capital at Sucre remained the constitutional and judicial capital.

La Paz is the third largest city in Bolivia and a center of commerce and industry.

Sucre was and still is the original capital of Bolivia. It is about 4-5 hours by road from the silver mines of Potosi, which were the primary source of economic power early in the history of independent Bolivia. In 1898 the silver mines were largely exhausted and the weight of the Bolivian economy was shifting toward the tin mines near Oruro. As a result the economic and political power also moved. The executive and legislative branches of government were moved that year to La Paz. The judicial branch remained in Sucre.

Sucre is the constitutional capital of Bolivia, and La Paz is sometimes called the administrative capital. La Paz is not actually a capital city. La Paz is actually just the "seat of government" (better said, the seat of two of Bolivia's three branches of government). The Bolivian Constitution, voted upon and passed in 2009, ratifies Sucre and only Sucre as the capital of Bolivia.

Answer 2

Yes.

The main constitutional capital is Sucre and the secondary administrative capital is La Paz. The executive and legislative branches moved to La Paz in 1898 as part of the relocation of the major mining industries in the country.

Answer 3

Yes, Bolivia has 2 capitals. Sucre is home to the judicial branch of the government making it the constitutional capital, while the president and congress are stationed in La Paz the administrative capital.-Kiet

Answer 4

Sucre is the only capital city of Bolivia. La Paz is often called the "administrative" capital because the legislative and executive branches function there while the judiciary branch is in Sucre. La Paz is the seat of government. Sucre is the capital.

A:There were two capitals until 2008, La Paz still is home to the administrative government, though. Sucre is considered Bolivia's only capital now.

Answer 5

Bolivia has 9 departments, each divided into provinces (Bolivia has a total of 327 provinces). Each of the 9 departments has a capital city.

Bolivia's national capital city is Sucre. However, since 2 of the government branches are headquartered in La Paz, La Paz is sometimes called Bolivias defacto capital. According to the Bolivian constitution, Sucre is Bolivia's one and only capital city.

There's a reason the legislative and executive branches were moved from Sucre to La Paz and only the judiciary branch was left in Sucre. See the related link below for the history of why Bolivia is thought to have two capital cities.
