The Alianza Liberal (Liberal Alliance) was formed as an illegal activist group in 1977. It was led by Augustin Morales, a businessman whose life's work had been destroyed by the left-wing military junta. The economic failures of the junta created interest in the Alianza Liberal. Among its important members were Eduardo Campo, the Director of Legal Affairs, and [[Michelle Bachelet]], the Director of Communications.

It published and circulated illegal publications, including ¡Libertad Ahora! (Liberty Now!, a popularly oriented newspaper), and La Perspectiva Liberal (The Liberal Perspective, an intellectual magazine). The success of these publications is indicated by the fact that [[Michelle Bachelet]] was imprisoned and tortured by the regime.

The coup that placed Augusto Pinochet in power, leading a liberal military junta threatened to split the Alianza. The Military Governing Council was liberal, but not democratic. People were left to do as they pleased, provided they did not threaten the government.

Many members of the Alianza, including Campo and Morales, supported Pinochet, Bachelet opposed him. Morales and Campo argued that they should accept Pinochet because he was better than Banzer. Bachelet countered that there was nothing stopping Pinochet becoming Banzer, and the Alianza has always maintained that the purpose of government is protecting the rights of the people. Bachelet pointed out that if government is to serve the people, it must be accountable to the people.

Bachelet won the argument, and the Alianza Liberal's official position was to oppose Pinochet.

In 1982, Alianza Liberal was legalised, and it flourished, becoming the country's most important political organisation. The party's publications went on open sale, with ¡Libertad Ahora! becoming a widely circulated newspaper.

The Partido Republicano Constitucional was formed in 1985 to contest the 1986 elections. Their highly effective campaigning, with Augustin Morales as the Presidential Candidate, along with the already substantial support they had gained from the before the process of Democratización 1986, led to a victory with a margin of 55%. Morales only wanted to serve one term, and refused to stand in 1990. Campo stood in his place, and lost to Ibáñez, of the Partido Laborista Socialista. The failures of the Ibáñez Administration led to Campo's victory in 1994, since then, the PRC have not lost a Presidential election since, and are the favoured party in 2006.
