Abstract

From the analysis of councilmen's actions during the eighteen century, the author comes to the conclusion that Tarragona's City Council was used by a small group of families for political and social revenge. Together with an unfavourable position towards innovations were the origin of the social and economic crisis at the beginning of the nineteen century. In 1790 the return to the lottery for office system had already been proposed to avoid corruption. It was not the return of the institutions abolished by the Nova Planta Decree but a last and desperate attempt to avoid the ultimate crisis of an hierarchic model of politics. The definitiva failure would come during the Independence War.
