Power secured suspension of extraordinary gubernatorial powers and reforms to treasury administration, taxes and ports within the Spanish monarchy.

Context

He was vice president of the Cortes, not of Spain. These reforms were not independence, universal suffrage or the end of colonialism. No exact suspension date or permanence is claimed. The 1863 painting retrospectively depicts 1810.

El boricua que desafió el poder absoluto. 🇵🇷 Ramón Power no solo exigió reformas: consiguió la suspensión de las facultades omnímodas del gobernador. La Ley Power de 1811 separó Hacienda de su control y trajo cambios en impuestos y puertos. Reformas dentro de la monarquía, no independencia.
