Abstract
This article puts forward an analysis of the political thought of the members of Mexico City's local government through a petition of removal of the corregidor position in the 1570s. 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.
