The state in Iberoamerica (ages XVI at XXI) historical overview: jurisdiction, ADMINISTRATION AND MONOCRACY

The nationalization of the New World is largely unknown. Preceding the Independence of Spanish America by several centuries, it is analogous to the Danubian Europe and its two stages, the jurisdictional State and the administrative State. About this, there are two distinct periods: the fl exibility of the undisputed constitution (1511-1811) and the drama of the two hundred paper constitutions (1811 onwards). Imposed from above, the latter slow modernization and dilute the people in an anonymous electorate, as the Ogro fi lantrópico, described by Octavio Paz.
