Sumario:The idea of the personification of the Nation as typical of the presidential institution has been installed in Peru from the last three constitutions (1933, 1979 and 1993), supported by a general appreciation that attributes to it a declarative character, innocuousness or tradition and which has normalized the sentence to the point of critical silence. However, it is not only rare to the institution, but it is also pernicious to the correct understanding of democratic representation, since it is more typical of absolute monarchies and even in its original United States version, in which presidential power continues to expand, this concept does not appear and neither does it appear in Latin American constitutionalisms, which reveals not only its inconsistency, but also its noxiousness for the republican system.
