On the morning of July 21, 1810, a document known as the Act of Independence was drafted and signed by the members of the group.
The passage names the drafter only as 'Antonio José,' an ambiguous reference whose exact identity is unclear, so the attribution is left unqualified. The act was signed by the members of the group. The junta's autonomous government claimed sovereignty over all of the Viceroyalty of New Granada.
