Decree no. 1,318 of 30 January 1854 regulated implementation of the 1850 Land Law, including procedures for identifying and registering land. The system relied heavily on declarations by occupants and local officials, amid unequal power over land, documentation, and legal access. Its consequences were especially severe for people who had been dispossessed or lacked recognized title, including Indigenous communities and poor rural residents. The decree organized property and state authority; it did not grant land to freed people.
