This paper deals with Fermín Toro’s view on the republican citizen. Since 1830, civilian ideas were articulated by a civilian elite formed by people who assumed a polemic attitude towards the “forefathers” of the Republic. The latter viewed themselves as the only ones with the right to conduct Venezuela because of their military contribution to Independence. It was in the context of this controversy that Toro tried to bring Christianity as an option to build the National State. For him, the State was a “civil unity” in which “freedom without order” had to shape the republican support that History and Politics had to understand and articulate.
