PERALTA RUIZ, VÍCTOR y MORENO CEBRIAN, ALFREDO. Pedro Vicente Cañete: An Enlightened Counterrevolutionary Creole in Charcas (1808-1814). Front. hist. [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.1, pp.68-96. ISSN 2027-4688. https://doi.org/10.22380/20274688.312.
This article deals with the political trajectory of an enlightened creole, the lawyer Pedro Vicente Cañete, and its opposition to the autonomist processes that erupted in Montevideo, Charcas, La Paz and Buenos Aires in the context of the crisis of the Hispanic monarchy which broke out in May 1808. We argue that Cañete was a scarce representative of the Enlightentment implicated in a juridical-political contest against the ideologues of the Hispanic American revolutions. His regalist doctrine was based on a reading of reality that questions that a provincial Junta could be the temporary custodian of the royal majesty in condition of a sovereign people; and with that pretext, could impose its jurisdiction to Charcas.
