| Sumario: | The conquest posed to the Salamanca jurists two capital questions: one, on the right to the conquest of the territory; another, on the subsequent occupation and sovereignty over consciences. These were pressing questions of the Alexandrian bulls; and the legal humanism of the School of Salamanca resided in the concern to regulate, on just and adequate grounds, the freedom of choice of the subject Indians, taking into account the system of “repartimientos” and “encomiendas” that had taken a nature charter in the New World and that stole it. The exposition of the concept of free will of Molina tried to explain the possibility of an election of the natives against the “greater good”, against the faith of the conquerors. |
