In the twilight of Spanish rule in South America, metropolitan authorities sought for solutions to the Guarani Indians «reducciones» which were languishing after the Jesuits’expulsion. The proposed plans were not accomplished, mainly due to the sloth of royal bureaucrats, or because they were not real solutions to the problem. One of the most comprehensive studies on the matter was the «Informe» of viceroy marqués de Avilés, who in 1800 made a detailed study of the once prosperous Paraguayan missions. Moreover, he proposed a definitive solution which consisted in the abolition of communal property among the natives through the institutionalization of individual property and the recognition of the personal rights of the natives.
