Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this article is to discuss the issue of motivation of court decisions in the Plata Viceroyalty during the eighteenth century. We aim to establish a discussion with the current historiographical debate and then to analyze the philosophical basis of court decisions, showing that in many of them it was common to resort to double equity.
