Bolivia has had more than 190 revolutions and coups since it became independent in 1825. The latest constitution was adopted in 1967. It provides for a president elected for a four-year term and a bicameral legislature consisting of an upper chamber of senators and a lower chamber of deputies. Administratively, Bolivia is divided into nine departments.
