Abstract
This article explores unknown aspects of the re-implantation of representative government in the Vice-Royalty of Peru during the Liberal Triennium. To this end, three cities which remained loyal to the Crown until a very late period have been chosen: Cusco, Huamanga and Arequipa. Consultation of local records from the three corporations has made it possible to reconstruct three examples of local power through electoral processes, the composition of ayuntamientos (local government councils) and analysis of the limits of their competence. The article shows that Vice-Roy La Serna governed in accordance with the Constitution of 1812 and displays the existence of processes of change and continuity between Spanish ayuntamientos and Peruvian municipalities, given that some individuals and formulae inherited from the Hispanic institutions remained in place over time.
