At the dawn of the sixteenth century, amidst the centralization of monarchical power and the growing secularization of social structures, the Spanish Jesuit Juan de Mariana (1536–1624) emerged as a significant figure in reaffirming traditional conceptions regarding the limits of royal authority. This article aims to examine some of Mariana’s most influential works in order to understand his views on the origin, duties, and limitations of the power exercised by princes. Through the analysis of his writings, this study seeks to demonstrate how Mariana articulated theological, legal, and historical foundations to support a critique of tyranny and a defense of the legitimacy of resistance against unjust rule, thereby contributing to the political debate within the framework of the late scholasticism.
