Sumario:The quality of democracy is analyzed by the ability to leverage the potential of various dimensions that characterize the mechanisms that control the exercise of political power. In Latin America the particular mode of relationship between state and citizens is weakened by social, economic and political context. Indeed, in Latin America, one of the democratic quality problems is the weakness of these control mechanisms and the consequences of this model affects the transgressive culture. Establish a state structure to establish social cohesion through citizen participation is one of the major challenges to be met by Latin America.
