ABSTRACT The birth of the State in Latin America is exposed, and the way in which its modern liberal foundation played an ideological role in the service of the land acquisition based on social and economic domination in the territory. Such presumption is based on the fact that it wasn't the republican ideas associated with the non-submission of the individual's free-will and common good that prevailed in the region, but rather than that, the formation of political systems was undertaken starting from modern liberal ideals that universally gathered the interests of different social groups within the monarchical state, but in practice, favoured the oligarchy and the foreign bourgeois, by establishing land appropriation dynamics and the salaried labour of peasants and indigenous people
