The European storm having cleared away in 1819, and the chaos illuminated, the political world appeared in three groups — Continental Europe under the Holy Alliance ; liberal and monarchical England ; the Republican and Federal United States. Which of these types shall South America take as a model ? The Liberator Bolivar extends his powerful influence over Venezuela, New Granada, Ecuador, and the newly made Boli- via. Bolivar, according to one of his eulogists, imagined an adaptation of the En...glish government, " free without tumult- uous excesses, strong without the risks of despotism, with pop- ular legislation, a President for life, and between these extremes, a hereditary Senate. But between imagining and realizing there is an immensity ! What have not the French imagined, from Sieves, Robespierre, Fourier and Napoleon the Great ! Through all South America, from the depths of society, in spite of the judicious algebraic combinations of statesmen, there arose from the very struggle, from the partial emancipation of the people, the dissolution of the former Vice-Royalties, with the name of federation rather than with its form, the intuition rather than the idea.
