Abstract: The subject of the research is a sphere of social relations of groups of citizens in their legal sense. The object of the research includes rights of citizens as the elements of the society in the countries of Latin America. The author examines such aspects of the topic as the rights of the most vulnerable groups of citizens in the period of transformation of economic structures. Special attention is paid to religious factors including the transformation of a specific religious weight in the countries of Latin America in the last 20 years. The author applies the system tridimensional analysis, based on the principles of deductive-inductive methodology, described in the scientific works in the field of jurisprudence, using the example of Latin America. The author derives the results about a significant differentiation of rights of Latin American citizens depending on different social strata, and the increase of these differences during the late 20 years. The author’s special contribution is the consideration of a religious factor in the development of the society and the evolution of a confessional feature. The novelty of the research lies in the consideration of issues of collective rights from the position of sociological, legal and political sciences.
