The Provisional Regulations are the name given to an official document issued on February 12, 1821, by José de San Martín as Protector of Peru, considered the first legal document of the newly born state. The 20-article long document replaced the system of government established by the Spanish Empire, and applied to the territories occupied by the Liberating Army, which at the time were the province of Chancay—where San Martín's headquarters were set up in Huaura—and the intendancies of Tarma and Trujillo. These territories were organised in four departments, each headed by a president: Trujillo, Coast, Huaylas and Tarma.
The Cabildo of Lima was the governing body of Lima and, since 1874, its intendancy. It was created four days after the creation of the city in 1535, existing until its suppression during the independence of Peru in 1821. It was headed by the Alcalde Ordinario.
