The Americans were able to create a democratic republic while many Latin Americans were unable to create and maintain democratic governments because there is corruption and this has affected democracy.
The United States became independent in 1776 and has been a very strong representative democracy ever since. its laws have transcended throughout history and have never changed their constitution.
On the other hand, the Latin American countries had several independence processes throughout the 19th century that allowed them to establish themselves as independent republics.
However, in Latin American countries there was never an organization and union to govern themselves, which led several countries to split into several. For example:
- New Granada became Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama.
Another difficulty of Latin American countries has been corruption because it steals the public treasury of citizens. Corruption has caused socialist and communist-inspired movements to rise to prominence and rise to power. For example:
- Cuban Revolution, 1956
- Chavista Revolution in Venezuela 1999
The difference between Latin American countries and the United States is that in Latin American countries there has been no union or consensus in decision-making, which caused the division of countries.
On the other hand, corruption left power in the hands of communist and socialist systems that later became dictatorships.
