title = "Liberalism",
abstract = "This chapter is about the social history of the law in post-colonial Latin America. It describes substantive legal changes in areas such as property, family, and housing law, explores the geographical distribution of the tribunals and public-security forces that mediated between the law and Latin American citizens, and discusses the procedural innovations by which governments intended to move from a colonial to a republican culture of law. The chapter argues that the century between 1830 and 1930 was characterized by a constant struggle between liberalizing and illiberal tendencies in the legal culture of post-colonial Latin America: a struggle in which at first the liberalizing and then the illiberal tendency was ascendant but neither tendency at any time completely eclipsed the other.",
