During the Spanish colonization of the Americas, the New Laws of 1542 were created to prevent the exploitation of the indigenous people by the encomenderos.
They were enforced by Blasco Núñez Vela, the first viceroy of Peru, who quickly became unpopular among the encomenderos and fled to Quito to escape a large revolt.
Spaniards and their descendants already involved in such activities in the New World were often in conflict with the New Laws and their implementation.

The New Laws were remarkably pro-native, forbidding any kind of native slavery and allowing encomiendas to be reviewed and removed from abusive Spaniards.

He applied the New Laws vigorously, provoking the settlers at every opportunity and causing general unrest.

It was accepted that, in accordance with the principles of natural law, which were deeply embedded in medieval Christian society, the indigenous populations of the Indies were free peoples, entitled to full rights of liberty and property.
These early years in the history of New Spain were characterized, at least in certain quarters, by a highly positive, and indeed optimistic, evaluation of the capacity of the indigenous inhabitants, and of their aptitude for Christianity.
Reports of the New Laws led to rumblings in New Spain, where viceroy Mendoza thought it prudent to suspend their application, and to open revolt among the conquerors and settlers of Peru.

 OLD WORLD PRIESTS IN THE NEW WORLD:
in 1540, which was largely responsible for the crown introducing the New Laws of the Indies in 1542 to curb colonial atrocities, Las Casas was given the bishopric of Chiapas.
 The crux of the controversy was the reduction of the encomienda, for the laws forbade any new encomienda grants, refused encomenderos to bequeath their grants to their heirs, and ordered all ecclesiastics to relinquish their encomiendas.
Las Casas pushed the Humanist line that Spanish behaviour in America was wholly contrary to the natural “Law of Nations” that views all people as equal and free to make their own decisions based on their own rationality.

Transplanted to the New World, it gave the conquistador control over the native populations by requiring them to pay tribute from their lands, which were "granted" to deserving subjects of the Spanish crown.
This resulted in efforts by the Spanish king and the Dominican order to suppress encomiendas, but the need of the conquerors to reward their supporters led to de facto recognition of the practice.
The crown prevented the encomienda from becoming hereditary, and with the New Laws (1542) promulgated by Las Casas, the system gradually died out, to be replaced by the repartimiento and finally debt peonage.
