The Second Triumvirate (Spanish Segundo Triunvirato) was the governing body of the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata (present Argentina) that followed the First Triumvirate in 1812, shortly after the May Revolution, and lasted 2 years.
The Triumvirate started its functions on October 8 1812 with Antonio Alvarez Jonte, Juan Jose Paso and Nicolas Rodriguez Pena as its members, after a small revolution product of the return of Jose de San Martin and other patriots from Europe, that forced the dissolution of the previous Triumvirate, and the creation of a new one.
The result of the voting for the Second Triumvirate's members was:
- Nicolas Rodriguez Pena (172 for - 12 against)
- Antonio Alvarez Jonte (147 for - 35 against)
- Juan Jose Paso (96 for - 87 against)
The main actions of the Triumvirate were:
- Ordered the imprisonment of Bernardino Rivadavia.
- Established a commission on December 4, 1812 for the creation of the Constitution of Argentina
- Called for the Asamblea del Ano XIII on January 31, 1813.
- Disposed the creation of the Province of Cuyo (present provinces of Mendoza, San Juan and San Luis on November 14, 1813.
As it was decided to dissolve the Triumvirate in favor of a one-man Directorship, it ceased to function on January 22, 1814 when Gervasio Antonio de Posadas assumed as Supreme Director. He was replaced by Carlos Maria de Alvear in January 31, 1815; who was supported by the powerful Logia Lautaro.
