The politics of Bolivia takes place in a framework of a presidential representative democratic republic,whereby the president is head of state,head of government and head of a diverse multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament.

With the Spanish-American wars of independence (1810–1825),the Aymaras became subjects of the new nations of Bolivia and Peru. After the War of the Pacific (1879–1883),Chile annexed territory with the Aymara population.
