SARAZUA, Juan Carlos. The Debates on Justice in Guatemala, 1797-1820. Estud. cult. maya [online]. 2021, vol.58, pp.187-215. Epub 04-Oct-2021. ISSN 0185-2574. https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ecm.2021.58.23866.
The application of justice was the basis of the legitimacy of the Spanish monarchy in its different territories. The central figure of the King as a distributor of justice has been one of the keys to the study of colonial justice in historiography, building a consolidated field in recent decades. For this reason, some aspects of the debate on the nature of justice in a period of general crisis in the Kingdom of Guatemala (1797-1820) will be addressed. This will allow us to see, in the future, the forms of appropriation and reinterpretation by the population.
