The capital at La Paz was made the administrative capital in 1898, while the historical capital at Sucre remained the constitutional and judicial capital. La Paz is the third largest city in Bolivia and a center of commerce and industry. Sucre was and still is the original capital of Bolivia. It is about 4-5 hours by road from the silver mines of Potosi, which were the primary source of economic power early in the history of independent Bolivia. In 1898 the silver mines were largely exhausted and the weight of the Bolivian economy was shifting toward the tin mines near Oruro. As a result the economic and political power also moved. The executive and legislative branches of government were moved that year to La Paz. The judicial branch remained in Sucre. Sucre is the constitutional capital of Bolivia, and La Paz is sometimes called the administrative capital. La Paz is not actually a capital city. La Paz is actually just the "seat of government" (better said, the seat of two of Bolivia's three branches of government). The Bolivian Constitution, voted upon and passed in 2009, ratifies Sucre and only Sucre as the capital of Bolivia.
