Sumario:The purpose of this work is to analyze the formation and development of the Army andProvincial Intendencies in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata at the end of the 18thcentury and in particular the Superintendencies of Buenos Aires between 1782, the yearof its creation, until its dissolution in 1788. The objetive is to study the nets of politicalpower and the similarities between the Superintendent, the royal authorities andsocio-political guilds such as the landowners. This political and fiscal reorganization ofthe entire Monarchy was an attemp by the Crown and its ministers to concentratepolitical power and achieve greater and more efficient monetary income. In America,specifically in the Río de la Plata, the overlapping of political and administrativefuncions between its royal servants generated a series of disputes and conflicts that ledto the suppression of the Superintendency and the reclaim of fiscal Powers by theViceroy.
