1908 Venezuelan Coup D'état
During the 1908 Venezuelan coup d'état General Juan Vicente Gómez took power on December 19 during the absence of President Cipriano Castro. He ruled as a dictator until his death in 1935, either directly by having himself elected by Congress directly or indirectly through civilian puppet governments that obeyed him. Background On April 4, 1906, Cipriano Castro announced that he was temporarily separating from the presidency for health reasons, and appointed Juan Vicente Gómez as Acting President. News began to circulate in mid-1906 about the health problems of President Cipriano Castro, which unleashed fears among the Castro clique that Juan Vicente Gómez would succeed him if he died. In this event known as ''La Conjura'' (the plot), circles close to Castro threatened the life of Gómez, who had to change residence on multiple occasions. For this reason, in 1906 and 1907 he spent most of his time in Maracay, away from any official activity, despite being the first vice-p ...

Constitutions Of Venezuela
A constitution is the aggregate of fundamental principles or established precedents that constitute the legal basis of a polity, organisation or other type of entity and commonly determine how that entity is to be governed. When these principles are written down into a single document or set of legal documents, those documents may be said to embody a ''written constitution''; if they are encompassed in a single comprehensive document, it is said to embody a ''codified constitution''. The Constitution of the United Kingdom is a notable example of an ''uncodified constitution''; it is instead written in numerous fundamental Acts of a legislature, court cases or treaties. Constitutions concern different levels of organizations, from sovereign countries to companies and unincorporated associations. A treaty which establishes an international organization is also its constitution, in that it would define how that organization is constituted. Within states, a constitution defi ...

History Of Venezuela
The history of Venezuela reflects events in areas of the Americas colonized by Spain starting 1522; amid resistance from indigenous peoples, led by Native caciques, such as Guaicaipuro and Tamanaco. However, in the Andean region of western Venezuela, complex Andean civilization of the Timoto-Cuica people flourished before European contact. In 1811, it became one of the first Spanish-American colonies to declare independence, which was not securely established until 1821, when Venezuela was a department of the federal republic of Gran Colombia. It gained full independence as a separate country in 1830. During the 19th century, Venezuela suffered political turmoil and autocracy, remaining dominated by regional ''caudillos'' (military strongmen) until the mid-20th century.
