We have a noteworthy illustration of the action of the audiencia in acuerdo with the governor in the banishment of Archbishop Felipe Pardo, who was exiled by the acuerdo of the audiencia and Governor Juan de Vargas Hurtado, in 1684.
When an agreement was reached upon a given subject, they voted in acuerdo and gradually that acuerdo came to have the force of law.
Marquina was said to have repeatedly disregarded the acuerdo and to have done as he pleased in matters wherein the audiencia had been or should have been consulted.
The president and the acuerdo could rebuke and discipline oidores, privately, when their conduct demanded it.
We have noted in an earlier chapter that the acuerdo passed ordinances for the domestic welfare and local government of the colony.
The audiencia was deprived of its acuerdo power in governmental matters by the Constitution of 1812, but it was still retained in judicial affairs.
The acuerdo concerned itself with the maintenance of prisons and the care of prisoners, the residencias of provincial officials, the auditing of accounts, the collection of the revenue, and the supervision of the officials of the treasury.
We should know nothing of the good Cid, but for the ballad, which was doubtless of very antique origin; though the simple burthen, Me acuerdo de ti, Granada!
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "acuerdo" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
