| Summary: | The study of administrative aspects of early independent Mexico is crucial to understand its financial woes. This article is a study on the operation of Mexico’s treasury offices during the last months of the colonial period. In opposition to a superintendent, the paper also gives a plausible reason for the establishment of a ministry of finances. Furthermore, it discusses the motive behind the formation of the provincial deputations’ own financial administration offices which is an additional reason for the establishment of federalism in 1824. Lastly, because of the new federal administration scheme, this article discusses the intendants’ destiny and final demise. |
