This paper analyzes the various actions taken by the authorities of the state of Zacatecas (Mexico) during the First Federal Republic (1824-1835), in order to find solutions to problems related to the exercise of patronage and related topics. It shows that these proposals were useful to defend and drive federalism, and to advance a project to create a secular and liberal State and society. The paper concludes that the attempt to apply this was ambiguous, as it became part of the "pitfalls" that prevented the first federalism from consolidating by contributing to the division of local and national political groups.

In Colombia there are few references related to the study on the production, circulation and consumption of Colonial wares and even scarcer are those that refer to industrial pottery. As such we are interested in opening the path for retrospective and interdisciplinary research on some aspects of the historical context in which these activities were immersed. The objective of this paper is to understand the purported effects that a factory for fine pottery established in Bogotá in the 19th century should have in this environment. A new socioeconomic order and the ending of traditions rooted in the Colonial regime were expected, based on the ideals of progress divulged by English industrialists. With this in mind the production technology, including its work regulation strategies and the pottery decorative styles, as a way of influencing daily consumption practices, will be discussed.
