Message to the Congress of Angostura

1. Bolivar thinks that Latin America should have freedom becuase they have government set up already. They are similar to the United States with two houses and people elected who govern them, "Like the North Americans, we have divided national representation into two chambers: that of Representatives and the Senate. The first is very wisely constituted." This was also made in US revolution where the colonists made two houses for their government after revolting and gaining their freedom.

2. He also asks for a Sovereign power for Venezuela. He thinks that the people would only benefit from electing their own official. The person can only benefit the nation because the constitution set boundaries in which the new person in power cannot break, "No matter what citizen occupies this office, he will be aided by the Constitution, and therein being authorized to do good, he can do no harm, because his ministers will cooperate with him only insofar as he abides by the law." This pre-existing constitution is just another reason why Bolivar believes they should be free. Like other nations such as France, the Latin American countries had made documents during or before the revolution in order to protect and preserve their rights after the revolution.

3. Simon also believes that being under Spanish influence, the people of Latin America had bad virtues and beliefs. The people believe it is actually a complete opposite, "Ambition and intrigue abuses the credulity and experience of men lacking all political, economic, and civic knowledge; they adopt pure illusion as reality; they take license for liberty, treachery for patriotism, and vengeance for justice." This could be fatal because if they do gain freedom, it will be short lived because of their false ideals. Some people think that it is like the Jacobins in France because of their radical ideas. If they were not removed from power, they might have had another revolution from the people fearing for their lives and fighting back.

4. The Latin American countries also feel they should have freedom because they will have applicable canidates to rule over themselves. The people who will rule will be well educated and have enlightened ideas and knowledge, "The people are more easily deceived than is Natureperfected by art; and although these senators, it is true, would not be bred in an environment that is all virtue, it is equally true that they would be raised in an atmosphere of enlightenededucation." Bolivar realizes these people will not be perfect but thier ideas will further help the nations.
