The Congress of Cúcuta (Congreso de Cúcuta) was an assembly led by Simón Bolívar and Francisco de Paula Santander, so to lead in a proper compromise between the centralists and federalists in the new Republic of Colombia, as well as establishing an attempt at proper union between the new nations. It resulted in partial success, resulting in a constitution that would end up being unwieldy for the Colombian nation and replaced nine years later.
