Los argumentos del ayuntamiento de México para destituir al corregidor en el siglo xvi. El pensamiento político novohispano visto desde una institución local

The analysis of the problem represented by the introduction of this royal officer to the city council and the arguments used to demand its removal show how the regidores of México recovered constitutional principles to define the limits of royal power and defend their interests against the king.
