Bolívar is a supporter of Enlightenment ideas because he believes in the concept of equal rights. He personally took steps to free the enslaved persons his family owned, and to end slavery in Gran Colombia. In government, he supported the idea of separation of powers as expressed by Montesquieu. However, he also favored a strong executive branch and authoritarian leadership to ensure political stability for the nation. He also opposed the limited government supported by many Enlightenment thinkers. These ideas show that he was skeptical that American-style democracy could work.
The Caste system was based on the religion of Hinduism, whilst in the Feudal system the Roman Catholic Church and in it's beliefs were followed. The highest class for the Feudal system was the King; but in the Caste system it was the Brahmins (Priests), although the king was part of the second tier the Kshatriyas. The Feudal system existed during the middle ages and when it ended it caused the end of the middle ages. The Caste is still being followed today in India.
