Sumario:The complex process of democratic consolidation that took place after the Second World War allowed some countries to establish political regimes with strong and robust institutions. Indeed, in the "century of democratization" there was a transition in Europe from authoritarian governments to the democratization of political systems. Given this process of consolidation of democracies in the world, it is also expected that the countries of the inter-American region have acquired a certain degree of maturity and development. However, Latin America seems to be an endemically more complex territory where most economies have gone through major crises and constant political changes that prevent the establishment of true democracies. The article addresses the process of democratic consolidation in Latin America and the functioning of Constitutional Democracy in the States of Rights. In particular, it analyzes the different populist movements that took place in Latin America and their link with the democratic quality of each country. Finally, it examines constitutional reforms in the region that aimed to exacerbate presidential functions in the context of the phenomenon of hyper-presidentialism
