the anti-VICTORIA manifesto — justification of the 1831 revolt against Gov. Manuel Victoria: the *gefe político* named by the Diputación couldn't take office (LA + the northern arms-chief opposed him) → the territory risks going 'sin representación'; invokes the 1830 election law for the ayuntamientos (Monterey/LA/San José); indicts Victoria's 'continuos prevaricatos,' his degeneration of 'el sistema liberal en sistema absoluto despótico' & near-year without popular representation; frames the 'pronunciados' as only defending themselves against Victoria's attack, seeking since his fall only 'conservar la constitución federal y leyes emanadas de ella.' A Californio constitutional-self-rule keystone → (repertoire of self-rule; pairs w/ Pico's 1832 installation, C-A 59) ⚠ likely a circular (dup potential)
