ACEVEDO-TARAZONA, Álvaro  e  VILLAMIZAR-PALACIOS, Carlos. Local Sovereignty during the First Republican Period in the New Kingdom of Granada. The Cases of Tunja, Socorro and Mariquita, 1810-1812. Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.23, pp.157-189.  Epub 03-Dez-2019. ISSN 2145-132X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/historelo.v12n23.76560.

The article addresses the problem of local sovereignty, its emergence as a result of the hatching, and its relationship with the former head of the viceregal power: Santafé. The objective is to identify the central points of the confrontation between local sovereignty and unitary postulates arising from a sector of the elite of Santa Fe. From this, they are interpreted, mainly, letters and periodicals that refer to notions such as sovereignty, representation and province. The contributions of Thibaud and Calderón to the conception of sovereignty were relevant, and those of Palti regarding representation. Thus, it is concluded that the fragility of local sovereignty is due to internal problems such as the conformation of representative bodies and the preponderance of some populated centers that were called "provincial headers". Finally, it is pointed out that local sovereignty is a little studied topic, dealt with in particular from the role of the councils and boards, so that numerous conflicts are left aside, which make local sovereignty an unfeasible political alternative against promoted unitarianism from the center of the viceroyalty.
