The social bond is a concept that refers both to the experience men build from their coexistence as the representation they make of it. This article shows how the Neogranadina Revolution of the 1810s was a breaking point of the social bond planned by the inhabitants of the Nueva Granada Kingdom. In the monarchy system, characterized by a hierarchical inequality and a strong sense of sacredness, subject to the imperative of incorporation, and preceding the individual; all traits that based their synthesis in the monarch's figure. With the revolution, a new type of social bond emerges, whose core attributes consist of its foundation on the principle of equality, their worldly character, the need for consent, as well as its obligation.
