Departments of Colombia
The 1991 Constitution establishes Colombia as a unitary and decentralized republic that is divided administratively and politically into 33 divisions: 32 departments, which are governed from their respective capital cities, and a capital district, Bogotá. In Colombia, resources pass from the nation to the department and from the department to the municipality, with the exception of Bogotá, which, as a capital district, is a first-order national entity. Sovereignty rests with the Nation as a unit and, within the framework of administrative decentralization in Colombia, the 1991 Political Constitution recognizes in its article 286 the departments as territorial entities, whereby part of the administration of the State is shared among these 32 departments and the capital district, in addition to the municipalities.
