| description | This paper examines the idea of a “pact” between the Spanish king and his Indigenous vassals of the New World. Such a pact was mediated by a justice system based on the jusnaturalist theory as posited by 16th century authors. Although Indigenous people were not acquainted with the details of such theories, they did feel their specific effects through certain rights and the operation of Indigenous laws. Since they were taxpayers, they could be exploited in the name of the royal treasury. For the same reason, they deserved royal protection against greedy Spaniards who mocked the law and wanted to take advantage of them. Through lawsuits and petitions, Indigenous lawyers of the 17th century developed a vocabulary and a political-legal practice that was based on the idea of justice as a guiding value of the Novohispanic society. |

Este artículo trata la idea de un “pacto” entre el rey español y sus vasallos indios del Nuevo Mundo. Tal pacto fue mediado por un sistema de justicia basada en la teoría jusnaturalista articulada por los tratadistas del siglo XVI. Aunque los indígenas no entraron en los detalles de tales teorías, sí llegaron a conocer sus efectos concretos mediante los derechos y la operación de las leyes de Indias. Por ser tributarios, se les podía explotar en nombre del fisco real. Por la misma razón se les debía protección real en relación a españoles codiciosos que se burlaban de las leyes para aprovecharse de los indios. A través de pleitos y peticiones, litigantes indios del siglo XVII desarrollaron un léxico y una práctica político-legal que tenía por punto de partida la idea de la justica como valor norteador de la sociedad novohispana.
