The Latin American Constitutionalism, as in the whole Occident, was based on Liberalism. The incidence of these two political movements manifested some peculiarities which reflect the way Latin America consolidated its institutions and political doctrines. The political processes and the cultural elements inherent in the trajectory of Constitutionalism establish mimicry practices and elitist agreements, that are analyzed in this text. In order to do so, this research adopts a theoretical-reflexive methodology with social-juridical and critical-decolonial basis, through the investigation of national and foreign authors. The reflection about this theme consists of four moments: first, the analysis of the configurations of liberal individualism; second, the Latin American Constitutionalism’s trajectory is reconstructed; after that, we seek to define the peculiarities of the liberal foundation of Latin American Constitutionalism; finally, it is intended to confirm the presuppose which motivates this work, that is the possibility of Andean Constitutionalism to present a resistance to the liberal paradigm of Constitution.
