The concept of 'people' and the origin of authority in the independence of the colonies Spanish of America

Abstract

At the beginning of the 19th century, in the first two decades of the 19th century, almost all the Spanish colonies in America became independent. In two decades the immense Spanish empire in America, which had lasted for three centuries, collapsed. In almost all the administrative entities of the Spanish empire movements arose that led to the independents. Generally, these movements were led by the Creole class, led to bloody wars against the Spanish armies and led to the formation of oligarchic republics. This work
investigates the representativeness of those who signed the independence acts, and the use of the word people in those movements.
