Venezuela, as an Ibero-American country and in accordance with the history of its constitutional law, has a little known historical reality regarding the limitations of the right to freedom and property. It was therefore necessary and pertinent to carry out a doctrinal and historical-constitutional investigation of these two institutions in order to analyse the nature or character of the limitations and restrictions they have been subject to since the birth of the republic. This made it possible to theorise about a possible (perhaps unappreciated) cause of the limitations to these rights, from the constitutional law of 1811 to the current constitutional law in Venezuela.
