The Spring Proclamation of 1739 was a historic royal decree-in-council issued jointly by King Sinchi Roca II, Premier Marissa Santini, and the Council of State on 5.III.1739 AN, formally marking the end of the Spring Crisis of 1739 and establishing several key democratic reforms. The proclamation is particularly notable for establishing National Unity Day (12.III) as a federal holiday and creating new national honors recognizing civilian resistance to the coup attempt.
Background
The Spring Proclamation emerged directly from the successful defense of constitutional order during the Spring Crisis of 1739, a failed coup attempt by elements of the III Combined Arms Corps under General Ricardo Montero. The document was drafted during emergency sessions of the Council of State following the crisis's resolution, with input from all major political parties and civil society organizations.
