There is widespread concern among social science scholars because institutions are increasingly less accepted and trusted by citizens. The State apparatuses that were built to guarantee governability and social peace are in question and this affects economic development and contributes to the growth of inequality in the countries. The objective of this quantitative research work is to describe the variables that affect the development of trust in the institutions of the different countries of Latin America and, therefore, of democracy. Based on the theory of institutions, the importance of building order through the rule of law and certainty in the rules of the game is described. Also, based on empirical evidence and quantitative data, the problems faced by Mexico and the countries of Latin America are described, and alternative ways to rebuild credibility are proposed.

Palabras llave : trust; democracy; institutions.
