Abstract
A partir de la primera propuesta de extender a América las intendencias españolas, hecha por José del Campillo y Cossío en 1743, se analizan las razones que llevaron a implementar esta reforma, teniendo en cuenta los distintos argumentos que se consideraron al interior del Consejo de Indias y en las secretarias del despacho para realizarla o posponerla, tales como reformar el gobierno político y económico, poner fin a la corrupción y uniformar el gobierno de la Monarquía. Asimismo, se confrontanlos argumentos que la historiografía ha dado para entender las razones que explican sus contenidos fundamentales y la manera de implementarla, destacando la adaptación local.
