Answer 1

Answer:

The Colombian Constitution of 1886 was the constitution that renamed the United States of Colombia to Republic of Colombia. Before 1886, the country was called United States of Colombia. The coalition of moderate Liberals and Conservatives that ended the liberal hegemony and placed Rafael Nuñez in power repealed the Constitution of Rionegro (1863) and substituted it with the constitution of 1886. From then on, the country was officially known as the Republic of Colombia.
