Question

1. The ideals of the French Revolution and the success of the American Revolution inspired Latin American colonists with enlightened ideas about natural rights, representative government and constitutions. Assess, in a short essay, the reasons for the failure of democracy in many areas of Latin America.

Answer 1

Latin America was not successful in attaining democracy. They don't have a clear plan on government transition. Leaders from different existing groups fought themselves to have a position in the government. Over-all the nation lacks support and unity among themselves.
