federal critique & REVERSAL of Echeandía's secularization bando — Echeandía invoked the 1813 Spanish Cortes decree (missions 10+ yrs reduced → handed to the ordinary) but proceeded 'opuesto y contrario' to it: the law wanted the Indians themselves to name their administrators & distribute their own lands, which Echeandía usurped (designating persons, distributing livestock, fixing friar stipends, w/o consulting the Supreme Govt); orders Figueroa to restore the missions to their pre-bando state
