  ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on some traces of the challenge of the government of the dispersed population into a larger territory of the Spanish Monarchy throughout 16 - 19 century. The main subject is the creation and implementation of a minor justice: the “alcalde de la santa hermandad” (judge of the brotherhood). This rural judge appeared early at Santa Fe and Buenos Aires and plays like an articulator between urban and rural populations. Based on a large base of research, this work shows what was the role that the office holders allowed to play in the political process equipment planning at the Gobernación of Buenos Aires.
