The welfare state, which we often find in legal literature, includes a complex system of relations. This activity aimed at ensuring human satisfaction and happiness is the highest goal of most developed countries in modern times. It seems possible to achieve this goal by raising the standard of decent living and ensuring the everyday rights included in the system of decent life rights. However, it should be taken into account that the right to a decent life is a system of norms that does not have a single consensus and has a relative character. That is why the analysis of this right by individual regions is considered necessary. The right to a decent life, which was extensively analyzed by the author in previous research materials, is examined this time in the regional context - in the American region, where the foundations of the formation of the welfare state are determined. Increase of the role of the state in the regulation of the socio-economic sphere and the formation of strong state control is especially emphasized as the most important reason for the transformation of the Americas into a land of prosperity which is considered a characteristic feature of the last decades. In the article, the acts determining the standard of decent living in the American region were examined, the organizational mechanisms in this field were analyzed, a comparative analysis was made from the aspect of decent life among the countries located on the continent, and suggestions were made.
