CONSECUENCES OF THE ECUADORIAN LIBERAL REVOLUTION
CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY:
-The drafting of a new Magna Carta began in 1896, which included the elimination of the death penalty, the establishment of freedom of religion and the possibility of every inhabitant of the country being a citizen.
RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION:
-The construction of the railway between Guayaquil and Quito was one of the tools to bring the two areas closer.
LEGISLATIVE REFORMS:
-The liberal governments that emerged after the revolution undertook a series of structural reforms in Ecuador. To begin with, they legislated the separation between the State and the Church, whose power, especially in the Sierra, had been almost absolute.
-On the other hand, public institutions were reorganized, infrastructure was modernized and the role of women in society was promoted.
CREATION OF SCHOOLS:
Free Education.
-Manuela Cañizares School for women.
-Juan Montalvo Experimental School.
-Eloy Alfaro Military School.
IMPORTANCE OF THE ARMED FORCES:
There was the professionalization of what is now the Armed Forces, the second most credible institution after the Church. From its creation, the military career reached its current organic structure, until it monopolized the use of weapons on behalf of the State, something that did not happen at the beginning of the Republic.
CREATION OF THE CIVIL REGISTRY:
-In the institutional field, the creation of the Civil Registry also stands out, as an instrument for the State to exercise control over its citizens, which was previously in the hands of the Catholic Church. This was the first step towards the modernization of relationships between people, which were already implemented in the liberal government of Leonidas Plaza, such as civil marriage and marital dissolution.
