That document, after sitting the National Congress and with an absolute majority, was drafted by Juan German and Francisco Isnardi under the principles of self-determination of the people.

Meanwhile, Maracaibo, Guayana and Coro did not participate in that Congress, but they were added later to the independence struggle undertaken by the Liberator Simón BolÃvar next to its patriotic forces.
