From the analysis of Simón Rodríguez's vision of the types of authority exercised by Simón Bolívar, we intend to identify Rodriguez's concept of "strongman" (caudillo). For him there are several forms of authority, "the strongman" ("el caudillo"), "the military" ("el militar"), "the boss" ("el jefe"), and "the ruler" ("el gobernante"), within which Bolívar was a special case due to the radical changes he had to do. Bolívar was a leader builder of republican institutions, and therefore an exceptional kind of authority.
