The Department of JunĂn ( Spanish: Departamento de JunĂn) was a department of North Peru, a constituent country of the PeruâBolivian Confederation, which existed from 1836 to 1839. Created alongside the confederate state, its capital was Huancayo.
JunĂn sent deputies to the Assembly of Huaura in August 1836, [1] where the Constitution of the Northern Peruvian State was drafted under the guidance of the then rebel president Luis JosĂ© de Orbegoso y Moncada in the midst of the Peruvian civil war since 1835. [1] The constitution proclaimed the North-Peruvian State and the alliance with the Bolivian occupation forces for the creation of the PeruâBolivian Confederation. [2]
With the victory of Orbegoso, the Fundamental Law of 1837 in Tacna, with approval of the self-proclaimed supreme protector AndrĂ©s de Santa Cruz, recognized JunĂn as a founding department of the Confederation. [2]
JunĂn was subject to the General Government, its governor was appointed by the president of the State, and this in turn was appointed by the supreme protector on duty. [1] The governor was obliged to elect representatives of his department to participate in the Huaura assemblies, which were ordered by the president of the northern Peruvian State, where it was represented by Mariano OcharĂĄn, Francisco QuirĂłs, Pedro Alvarado, RamĂłn de Echenique, JosĂ© SimeĂłn RodrĂguez Egusquiza and Mariano Rosario CĂłrdova. [1] [2] JunĂn also had deputies in the Congress of the Confederation as part of the North-Peruvian parliamentary group. [1]
