In Spanish ."Highly controversial book asserts that the 1809 revolutionary proclamation was in fact a copy of one from La Plata (present-day Sucre). The La Paz elite manufactured this proclamation in the late-19th century in an effort to claim rights to being the capital city of Bolivia instead of Sucre"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
