Abstract:
Th is study focuses on the legislative eff orts by Cristóbal Vaca de Castro regarding mining. It focuses on theregulations for the gold and silver mines enacted in 1543. Th ese laws lie within the context of the prevailingregime at the time, and cannot be understood without the debate this regime created. Th ey aimed to addressthe problem of the indigenous population sent to work on the mines. In that regard, these new laws outlinethe principle, in clear harmony with the will of the Crown and the previous legislation, that Indians cannotbe sent to mines against their own will. Th ey are a clear example of the humanitarian concerns of the monarchand his Council of the Indies, at a time when the New Laws and the thesis by Las Casas were triumphant.Th e present work evaluates the degree of alignment of the author with their content.
