Constitutional Party (Peru)

The Constitutional Party (Spanish: Partido Constitucional) was a political party in Peru. The party was founded in 1886 by Andrés Avelino Cáceres, a national hero from the War of the Pacific. The party was expression of the nationalist and military oligarchy, like also the biggest landowners and the Catholic Church.
