Abstract

At the end of the year 1826, the Government Council, collegiate to which the Liberator Simón Bolívar delegated powers due to his forced absence from the country, initiated a series of reforms in the internal regime and in the curriculum of Convictorio of San Carlos, dedicated to teaching law. Among the novelties of the study plan a chair of public and constitutional law was established, being the first in Peru in which constitutional law itself was taught. Unfortunately, the validity of this chair, which was held by Antonio Amézaga and in which the Lessons of Constitutional Public Law of Ramón Salas were used as a teaching manual, was very brief.
