The Real Ordenanza (Royal Decree) of 1786 instructed the intendants (territorial governors) of the provinces to take censuses every five years. Censuses were to be taken of various groups for different reasons. For example, censuses were taken concerning Indian tributaries, military personnel, men (non-Indians) who could serve in the military, business people, those in commerce, or the general populace. Some of these censuses were taken, but not every five years. | The Real Ordenanza (Royal Decree) of 1786 instructed the intendants (territorial governors) of the provinces to take censuses every five years.
