Abstract
Considering that the entire cycle of reforms undertaken in the wake of the riots of 1766 might lead back to the dichotomy of the tumultuous exclusion of the plebs − the corporate inclusion of the people, here we study the problem of the implementation in the Lordship of Biscay of the new elected offices that were instituted at the time to represent the common people, underlining the contrast between the legally prescribed popular elections and other community electoral practices with a foral origin which, resisting the former, were tried out in order to appoint them.
