You refer to Capital? (o)?¿ if you refer to that Bolivia doesnt have two Capitals, Bolivia has one Capital (Sucre, where judicial power is) and the other (La Paz, is the seat of the goverment and legislative site).\n\nBut when one asks you where is the Capital of Bolivia you have to say Sucre because Bolivia´s Foundation placed there, and dont say La Paz because its only the seat of two powers of the goverment.\n\n*Bolivia = Sucre

The one with 20 parties is more democratic.  It is giving voice to the many points of view espoused by its people.  Governing such a country might be problematic as you would have to form consensus between many parties in order to have a majority for conducting business.

They were both created at the same time. It was the first conflict involving two people. One iniated the situation and the other tried getting out of it. Makes sense to me.

Washington the Capital City of the U.S. was built in two states, Maryland and Virginia so that the capital of the country would not be in one particular state.  The area set aside for building the capital city is the District of Columbia in which Washington and it's suburbs exist.  The District of Columbia while it borders the two states is actually a separate entity from those states.  The Nations Capital is actually controlled by the Federal Government.

Because the people who formed the goverment were argueing about what was the most fair.\n\nThe large states thought it would be fair to give represenatives in proportion to the population.  Smaller states did not think this was fair because they would get less representation.  Thus as a compremise the Bicameral system was begotten.\n\nThe senate gives each state two reps (with the VP being the president of the senate) and the house seats are determined by your state's population.  If your states population goes up or down during a census.

Shortly after independence, Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form the nation of Tanzania in 1964. One-party rule came to an end in 1995 with the first democratic elections held in the country since the 1970s. Zanzibar's semi-autonomous status and popular opposition have led to two contentious elections since 1995, which the ruling party won despite international observers' claims of voting irregularities.\n\nSome apparently

Well, he's basically a Marxist, isn't he?  We know where those kinds of policies lead.  We've seen that kind of poverty and oppression many times before.\n\nPerhaps the nation will split into two.  There are too many people in Bolivia who are simply unwilling to go that route.

In 1883 the governer (Nehemiah Ordway) of the Dakota Territory moved the capitol out of Yankton to Bismark, which made the people of the southern part of the state unhappy. They asked Congress to make southern Dakota its own state.\n\nIn 1889 Dakota Territory was split into North Dakota and South Dakota.\n\nPart of the motive for a second state though was to add more Republican Senators to congress in order to gain the upper hand. \n\nGrover Cleveland as one of his last acts in office granted statehood to both North and South Dakota (who had already more than fulfilled the requirements) but then also granted statehood to Montana and Washington in an effort to keep the scales balanced and send four democratic senators along with the dakota's four republican ones.

In politics, a capital (also called capital city or political capital — although the latter phrase has an alternative meaning based on an alternative meaning of "capital") is the principal city or town associated with its government. It is almost always the city which physically encompasses the offices and meeting places of the seat of government and fixed by law. The word capital is derived from the Latin caput meaning "head," and the related term capitol refers to the building where government-business is chiefly conducted.\n\nSeats of government in major substate jurisdictions are usually called "capitals", but at lower administrative subdivisions, terms such as county town, county seat, or borough seat are also used.\n\nAs the focal point of power for the country or region, the capital naturally attracts the politically motivated and those whose skills are needed for efficient administration of government such as lawyers, journalists, and public policy researchers. Older capitals have often developed into prime economic, cultural, or intellectual centers, sometimes referred to as their country's primate city as well. Such is certainly the case with Paris and Buenos Aires among national capitals, and Irkutsk or Salt Lake City in their respective state or province. Such concentration may be controversial. The siting of Brasília in Brazil's heartland was done in order to bring progress to the interior of the country, since the old capital, Rio de Janeiro, along with entire Southeastern Brazil was already crowded. The government of South Korea announced in 2004 it would move its capital from Seoul to Yeongi-Gongju — even though the word Seoul itself means "capital" in the Korean language.\n\nThe convergence of political and economic or cultural power is by no means universal. Traditional capitals may be economically eclipsed by provincial rivals, as occurred with Thebes by Alexandria, Nanjing by Shanghai, or Edinburgh by Glasgow. The decline of a dynasty or culture could mean the extinction of its capital city as well, as occurred with Babylon and Cahokia. And many modern capital cities, such as Abuja, Canberra and Ottawa, were deliberately fixed outside existing economic areas, and may not have established themselves as new commercial or industrial hubs since.
