The governors confirmed the new officials in the Reductions after the annual elections, as also the newly appointed curas belonging to the Society of Jesus; they made regular official visits to the Reductions, and sent reports to the king regarding their visitations.
Controversies with the governors arising in consequence of unjust encroachment were always adjusted through the royal audiencia in Charcas, by royal inspectors or by investigating committees, especially named and appointed by the king himself.

Consequently, a more comprehensive survey of colonial and revolutionary American usage of the key phrase, "bear arms," and other arms-related expressions is necessary to come to terms with how the language of the Second Amendment was understood in the late 18th century, both to the drafters and the ratifiers of the amendment.

They constituted the General Court -the supreme court of the Colony and also had legislative functions as members of the upper house of the Assembly, corresponding somewhat to our senate.
