The present study aims to show the connection between crime and sin from legal and conceptual history, taking as a basis a case of "disobedience of the father", that took place in Buenos Aires in the late eighteenth century. This implies, in first place, the reconstruction of the legal concepts from the religiousness to demonstrate the logic of the government and its justification in the light of the commands of obedience, and rescuing the figure of the Father as a figure of order. On the other hand, that involves the study of the relationship between judicial structure and parental authority in the exercise of local order, under the light of a system of order based on moral disciplines of ethics, Oikonomics and politics.
