Resumen
This work seeks to examine the historical relationships established between liberalism
and democracy, questioning the apparent inseparability between the two ideologies.
Methodologically construct a hypothetical dialogue with the Italian thinker Norberto
Bobbio, one of the most important systematizers of liberal democracy, defending a
theoretical and conceptual complementarity between the two ideologies. Following the
Bobbio theoretical propose, it presents the political contributions of classical liberalism
that the Italian thinker identify as logical and axiological antecedent of the modern
democracy, naturalizing and universalizing the principles and ideals of classical
liberalism. Going counter, it problematizes the political contributions of classical
liberalism, emphasizing the tension between liberal theory and its practice, between the
declared political principles and their translation into concrete historical reality,
reserving rights and freedoms to property minority and severe restrictions to the
majority. The critical analysis of classical liberalism allows questioning the privilege
position that Bobbio reserves to the liberalism in the democracy history, to restore the
important contribution of illiberal politics currents in the civil, political and social rights
history, advocating the democracy with its social character, inclusive and participatory
