Summary

Confraternities, in origin mere meetings of people with common productive dedications, and of a customary character, become institutionalised in conjunctures in which the groups that compose them consider that their interests are in danger. This is the only possibility of channeling their demands, within the limited political and institutional framework of the era. This provokes endemic confrontation with the authorities, the result of which is the control that these institutions exercise, through the confraternities, on the groups and interests they represent.
