description After the discovery and colonization of the Americas, the need to transfer the jurisdiction of the Spanish Monarchy to the new territories led, on the one hand, to the delegation of this jurisdiction to certain institutions that were gradually established in the New World and, on the other hand, to the use of diverse tools that favored this delegation and allowed the expansion of the Atlantic Spanish Empire by mitigating the vast distance existing between these territories and the Royal authority.
