Abstract

IN DECEMBER, 1807, the cabildo of Buenos Aires, conscious of the prestige it had earned in the recent defence of the region against the British expeditions which had invaded the Rio de La Plata, petitioned the crown to grant it the title of Defender of South America and Protector of the Cabildos of the Viceroyalty of La Plata. The petition was written by its legal adviser, Mariano Moreno, and the eloquent document which he submitted to Madrid contained a remarkable request by the cabildo to act as the recognized leader and mouthpiece of the other cabildos of the viceroyalty, the channel through which they could direct their complaints to higher authorities.
